Keeping pace with the market

Lower costs. Higher output.

Richnerstutz AG is one of Switzerland’s leading companies in large format printing as well as signage production and installation. To stay competitive in a market driven by price pressure, speed and versatility, the company invested in a swissQprint Kudu.

“We replaced two ten-year-old machines with a single new system. And we actually increased our output,” says Managing Director Chris Mühlemann. The Kudu flatbed printer allows Richnerstutz to produce medium-sized jobs efficiently while lowering operating and energy costs.

  • Increased productivity with a single machine

  • Significantly lower service and energy costs

  • Sustainable production with LED technology and TPO-free inks

  • Low total cost of ownership

Efficient handling of special applications

For Enzo Massaro, operator at Richnerstutz, the Kudu’s versatility is a key advantage. Varnish applications and oversized printing are especially important. “We can print boards up to four metres long in one piece,” he says. Features such as the Tip Switch vacuum system also help speed up day-to-day production.

  • Wide range of applications in high quality

  • Flexible expansion thanks to the modular printer setup

  • Higher capacity thanks to easy handling

  • Ideal for short-notice jobs

  • Reliable in daily production

Reliable in daily production

Herbert Voser has been working with a swissQprint large format printer since 2019. What stands out for him is the machine’s reliability and dependable performance. “We get the same high quality every day.” With many short-turnaround jobs in daily production, Richnerstutz benefits from stable processes and high flexibility.
