swissQprint (Kriessern, Switzerland) has announced the company’s 15th anniversary in business. “What began as a six-man operation has since blossomed into an internationally active company with 200 employees,” according to a press release from swissQprint.
On September 17, 2007 Reto Eicher, Roland Fetting and Hansjörg Untersander had the swissQprint company entered in the commercial register. With a crew of six, the company was under way, per the release.
“Already on board was the present CEO Kilian Hintermann,” the release goes on to state. “The following year, notwithstanding the financial crisis then in full swing, the team launched the first swissQprint flatbed printer.”
