A look back at 25 years of druck.at
Hard to believe, but true: druck.at is celebrating its 25th anniversary! A quarter of a century of passion for printing. What began in 2001 as a project in Leobersdorf, Lower Austria, is Now Austria’s leading online printing company.
Of course, an anniversary like this isn’t something you celebrate quietly on your own. That’s why we’re inviting you to A journey through our history 25 exciting years filled with growth, milestones, products and, above all, people!
It all began in 2001 with digital printing
Every great story begins with a first step. In the year 2001 Founders Peter Kolb and Andreas Wentner staked everything on a technology that was revolutionary at the time: digital printing. Whilst traditional printing processes often required long lead times, at “digitaldruck.at” the motto from day one was: send the file directly from the PC to the machine, press ‘Start’ and print!
The combination of speed, flexibility and customer focus was a resounding success. Already 2005 The first diggers had to roll in for the hall extension, thereby creating even more space for machinery, products and staff.
Even bigger & even more: Offset & large-format printing
A rolling stone gathers no moss – but not us. Following our successful launch in digital printing, we’ve already 2005 The next logical milestone: the introduction of offset printing. This meant that, from that point on, even huge print runs could be produced in record time and in razor-sharp quality.
But that’s not all: 2007 we have once again expanded our production facilities and heralded the dawn of large-format printing. Whether Advertising banner, Posters or Cardboard displays – From that point on, virtually anything was possible. From a small digital printer to a versatile all-rounder!

We’re taking the internet and the DACH region by storm
The year 2008 marked a real turning point in our company’s history: we became an online printing company! With the launch of our online shop, ordering printed materials became easier and more convenient than ever before. The concept struck a chord with the times: just two years later, in 2010, we officially established ourselves as Austria’s largest online printing company.
However, as we no longer offer just digital printing, it was also time for a makeover. digitaldruck.at became 2013 Simply druck.at. And because good service knows no bounds, this was followed by 2016 the successful expansion into Germany and Switzerland.
These milestones have made us what we are today! If you’d like to find out more about our milestones over the last few years, we’ve put them together for you summarised here at a glance.
A wider range, greater responsibility
Continuous growth also means taking on responsibility. Alongside the rapid expansion of our product range – from promotional items and express production to over 250,000 configurable products today – we have prioritised verifiable sustainability from the very beginning. Even 2012 we were certified with the Austrian Ecolabel for the first time, followed by our first own Recycled product range 2013. We have always relied on Environmental protection and are proud to produce annually various certifications to be awarded.
But our social responsibility does not end on paper: for many years we have been supporting Projects close to our hearts, driven by our deepest convictions. These include initiatives such as Jugendarbeit.07, the Vienna women’s refuges, the Life Ball and SOS Children’s Villages. But also the Regenbogental therapy centre in Leobersdorf, which is not only our neighbour but also a valued partner that we have supported for many years. In addition, we have also been supporting Team sports by discipline such as football, handball, basketball or cycling. We also support the clubs our staff belong to.
The people behind druck.at
2025 we have reached our biggest milestone to date: the construction of our new, state-of-the-art and efficient production hall in Leobersdorf. Just a few metres from the old site, the hall brings together the entire production facility and all offices under one roof for the first time. Since April 2026 We are We have officially moved into our new premises and from there, we ensure high-quality products and services.
But what would a magnificent building be without the people who bring it to life? What 2001 which started with ten people, is 2026 A strong team of over 300 staff members. A team that ensures products are manufactured and dispatched every day. That answers and takes customer enquiries seriously. That regularly optimises our website, thereby ensuring an even better shopping experience. That makes sure all the machines are working and there is sufficient stock. The list of people and tasks is long. Because they have all made druck.at what it is today!
