swissQprint is a privately owned company. The founders of our company are actively involved in the operational business – so they are part of our workforce that numbers 220 employees. We are proud to stand behind the swissQprint name – the acknowledged quality label for large format printers.
Agility is one of our strengths. 30 percent of the workforce at our Swiss headquarters focus on research and development. Right next door to our production facility. So new ideas and improvements quickly find their way into our series production – which means you can always rely on state-of-the-art solutions.
