What druckerei bad leonfelden does

Druckerei Bad Leonfelden GmbH is a privately held Austrian commercial printing company founded in 1924 and headquartered at Gewerbezeile 20, Bad Leonfelden, in the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria. The company is family-owned under managing directors Gerhard Keplinger (owner since 1982) and Felix Keplinger, operating without external investors, parent companies, or disclosed subsidiaries. Its geographic footprint is strictly domestic, serving customers in Mühlviertel and Upper Austria with no global footprint claim.

The company's core offering is custom commercial printing across offset and digital technologies, using modern Xerox digital presses alongside traditional offset workflows. Its technology platform centers on a cross-media neutral PDF workflow, 110-line screen raster offset printing (above the 80-line industry standard), FOGRA 51/52 color management, and Beyond CMYK digital printing for special metallic and transparent effects (Gold, Silver, White, Transparent, Vivid toners). A premium tier branded DBL Plus bundles these capabilities. The product portfolio spans business stationery, folders, flyers, brochures, magazines, books, labels and stickers, presentation folders, wedding stationery, funeral prints, and academic thesis binding, supplemented by finishing services (UV coating, foil stamping, embossing, lamination, die-cutting, perforation) and prepress services (graphic design, scanning, copying, personalization, mailings, proofreading).

The business model is order-based, quote-driven, and direct-to-customer: revenue streams are one-time print product sales and add-on professional services (consulting, design, mailing). There is no recurring or subscription component. GTM is sales-led through phone, email, in-person visits, and an FTP data upload portal (ftp.dbl.at), supported by organic content on Facebook and Instagram. Customer segments are diversified across B2B companies/organizations (primary), students/academic institutions, wedding/event customers, and authors/small publishers. In early 2025 a fire incident affected part of the production facility, with operations continuing via a partner-business arrangement. The company holds the Austrian Eco-Label and the 'Printed in Austria' certification through December 31, 2025.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Flyeralarm: Large German online printing platform serving SMBs across Europe with offset, digital, and large-format printing plus finishing. Broad incumbent operating at significantly larger scale than regional printers; competes for the same SMB commercial print demand.
• Mondi: Global paper and packaging group with operations across Europe including printing-related products. Broad incumbent — not a direct peer but operates in the same Austrian/European paper and printing value chain that supplies and competes with regional printers.
• Onlineprinters (Elanders): One of Europe's largest online commercial printers, now part of Elanders, offering offset and digital printing across business stationery, marketing materials, packaging, and labels. Broad incumbent with overlapping commercial printing capabilities but at much larger pan-European scale.
• CEWE Stiftung: European printing services company primarily known for photo printing and photo books but also commercial printing services. Broad incumbent with adjacent product categories to DBL (books, photo-based printing, personalized products).

Direct peers

• druck.at: Austrian online commercial printing service offering offset, digital, and large-format printing with online ordering and shipping across Austria. Direct peer because both serve Austrian SMB customers with similar commercial print product categories, though druck.at operates at significantly larger scale and a national digital-first model.
• WIRmachenDRUCK: German-headquartered online printing platform serving German-speaking SMBs across DACH with offset and digital printing plus finishing services. Direct peer given overlapping product categories (business stationery, brochures, books, labels) and shared regional German-speaking customer base.
• Hoffmann Druck: German commercial printing company offering offset and digital printing plus finishing services for SMBs across brochures, business stationery, and packaging. Direct peer comparable in business model — mid-sized regional commercial printer with finishing capabilities — though operating in a different regional market.

Others

• Xerox: Manufacturer of digital printing equipment including the production-class Xerox iGen and similar presses used by commercial print shops. Enabling supplier — DBL explicitly uses Xerox digital printing machines for its Beyond CMYK and variable-data capabilities.
• Heidelberger Druckmaschinen: German manufacturer of offset printing presses and related equipment sold to commercial printers worldwide. Not a competitor but an enabling supplier — DBL and similar regional printers rely on Heidelberg equipment for their offset printing capabilities.
• Canon Production Printing (Océ): Manufacturer of production printing systems (digital presses, cut-sheet printers) sold to commercial print providers. Enabling supplier rather than direct competitor — DBL uses Xerox machines, but Canon/Océ is an adjacent equipment ecosystem player.
