Stork Prints Group Holding B.V.

What Stork Prints Group Holding B.V. does

Stork Prints Group Holding B.V., operating as SPGPrints, is a Netherlands-based industrial printing technology company founded in 1949 and headquartered in Boxmeer. The company is the self-described inventor of rotary screen printing and a pioneer in digital textile printing, having launched the first digital textile printer in the industry in 1991. It manufactures capital equipment including rotary screen printing systems, digital textile printers, laser engraving equipment, and rotary screen integration (RSI) modules, alongside a consumables line of rotary screens and digital printing inks formulated for all leading digital printing technologies. Its primary customers are textile manufacturers, but the platform has been extended into healthcare (including COVID-19 testing strips), security printing (banknotes), label printing, printed electronics, non-wovens/spunlacing, and clean energy applications.

SPGPrints generates revenue through three streams: (1) hardware sales of industrial printing machines and production lines, (2) consumables including rotary screens and digital inks that create a recurring revenue stream tied to the installed base, and (3) global services spanning maintenance, support, and consulting across more than 100 countries. The company holds over 300 patents and operates an enterprise field sales model with dedicated specialists engaging customers directly through quote-based, consultation-driven sales rather than self-serve or marketplace channels. Distribution is global-direct, with no apparent third-party reseller or ecommerce layer.

The company is privately held (B.V. structure), with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no identified parent company. Ownership details are not available in the source data. The legal entity headcount of 22 appears to reflect the holding company rather than the full operating business, though this is not confirmed. An Indian investor relations page referencing STOVEC suggests a historical or related Indian listed entity, but the primary SPGPrints operation appears to be privately held without disclosed ownership.
