About Druckhaus Mainfranken
Druckhaus Mainfranken is a printing company specialised in industrial sheetfed printing, headquartered in Marktheidenfeld (Bavaria). Founded in 2006, the company employs more than 1,000 people and produces printed products such as letterheads, stickers, labels and paper carrier bags for SMEs, major customers and resellers. Production is carried out in sheetfed offset printing (among other things with LE-UV technology in large format) as well as digital printing on reel and sheet for very small print runs. The value chain includes, alongside printing itself, finishing with automated cutting lines, robotics and die-cutting technology, laser die-cutting of stickers, digital print refinement, foil refinement of labels and the production of paper carrier bags. The machine fleet comprises around 25 printing presses, including Heidelberg and König & Bauer sheetfed presses and a Scodix Ultra 6000. The company works with FSC®- and PEFC-certified materials and supplies customers across Europe; resellers and web-to-print applications are served through the online shop REDPRINTGROUP.
