The Bavarian enterprise is positioned successfully in 30 European countries with its German online shop diedruckerei.de and the English- and French-speaking versions of the shop at www.onlineprinters.com. We are preparing to offer the online shop in other languages as well. Adrian Tripp, Chief Executive of the European Business Awards, is full of praise: "Each year we are witnessing impressive performances of some excellent companies with brilliant success stories. This has again been the case this year. The quality of the applicants has increased again as has the number of applicants. The companies that have been nominated Country Representatives are thus the crème de la crème of European companies. They will represent their companies in the next round of the European competition to compete for the coveted Ruban d'Honneur.

Investments create room for dynamic growth
"Europe is our strong growth market. By continuing to internationalise our web shops, we aim to achieve even more customer focus", CEO Walter Meyer highlights a major success factor of the fast-growing market of the online print shop. Customers use the online shop to order conveniently from a comprehensive range of top-quality printed products at reasonable prices. The capacities of the Bavaria-based production and sales facilities of Onlineprinters GmbH are being expanded continuously. Nine million euros were invested into expanding the company in 2010. Additional investments amounting to six million euros are planned for 2011. "The European Business Awards are widely recognised as the showcase for Europe's most dynamic companies. We’re looking forward to the second round of the competition where we’ll be competing across Europe to receive a Ruban d’Honneur and hopefully win", Walter Meyer said.
