Schellenberg Gruppe

What Schellenberg Gruppe does

Schellenberg Gruppe AG is a privately held, family-owned Swiss printing group headquartered at Badenerstrasse 569 in Zürich, with an additional site in Pfäffikon (ZH). Founded in 1957, the company operates as an Aktiengesellschaft and functions as a holding and coordination entity for ten printing and media-services subsidiaries — Dresch, Ecocardprint, Effingermedien, Hess Druck, Horisberger, Oscards, PMC, Sailer, Schellenberg Druck, and Schwegler — collectively positioning the group as one of the larger employers and providers in the Swiss graphics industry. The stated headcount of 55 most plausibly refers to the listed parent entity rather than the consolidated operating group.

The group's production technology spans the full commercial print stack: offset and web-offset for high-volume runs, digital printing for short-run and variable-data work, and large-format printing for signage and display. Beyond core print manufacturing, Schellenberg Gruppe has built out a crossmedia and digital services capability (content, campaign, and multi-channel delivery) and a security/card printing vertical (OSCARDS) serving card, identity, and traceability applications. Certifications held across the group include ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and the OSR-Label, and the group is recognized by SBFI as an apprenticeship training company.

The business model is a B2B general-contractor/one-stop-shop arrangement: corporate customers, publishers, and security clients can source conventional print, large-format, crossmedia, and card/security production through a single point of contact across the subsidiary network. Revenue is generated through per-job and contract-based pricing across these segments; no revenue figures, pricing tiers, or customer concentration metrics are publicly disclosed. The family-ownership structure and absence of outside funding signal a long-horizon operating model focused on Swiss-market consolidation rather than growth-by-capital.
