Ridderkerk | 36 hours | Press
Our print facility is growing rapidly—with new production lines, new technologies, and increasingly high quality standards.

You'll work with a state-of-the-art machine park consisting of two 12-colour Heidelberg presses, one 8-colour Heidelberg press, and one 6-colour Heidelberg press. Over the coming years, this production line will continue to expand and be further modernised.
