The origins of Graphius

The group behind the acquisition of the printer formerly known as Park Communications.

The Graphius group dates back to 1928 and the founding of Geers Offset. Today it is still in the hands of the family, though this is now the third generation.

Expansion through acquisition began in 2008 and has continued most recently with the take over of Artoos, a marketing services printer with an online management platform called Moose.

The head office and main production site is in Ghent. There are five other businesses in Belgium including carton and wet glue label printer Rembrandt Packaging.

The group also has operations in Paris and the Netherlands as well as the UK. There are sales offices in New York and Mexico and a North American subsidiary formed in Toronto.

The product range moves from cartons and labels through trade illustrated books, magazines, calendars andcorporate printing. It also produces premium occasion printing with a wide choice of specialist finishing techniques as well as on press craftsmanship.
