Cimpress N.V. is a Dutch company which invests in and operates a wide variety of businesses which use mass customization to configure and produce small quantities of individually customized goods. Those products are sold to small businesses, graphic designers and consumers[2] through a number of customer-facing brands that Cimpress operates.

Business operations

Cimpress is a conglomerate which specializes in mass customization, based in Venlo, Netherlands employing more than 10,000 people globally across manufacturing, marketing, technology, software development, sales and support functions.[3] It has offices and manufacturing facilities throughout Europe, North and South America, India, Australia, Philippines, China and Japan.[2][4]

Cimpress aggregates, via the Internet, large volumes of small, individually customized orders for a broad spectrum of print, signage, apparel and similar products.[2]

History

The company was founded under the name Bonne Impression in 1995 in Paris, France by current President and CEO Robert Keane.[5] It was a direct marketer of desktop publishing software and pre-printed laser-printer-compatible specialty papers for printing brochures, stationery and business cards from the desktops – focused on small business customers. In 1999, the company moved its business to the internet and changed its name to Vistaprint.[5]

This was followed by its initial public offering in 2005 when it began trading on the Nasdaq under VPRT.[6]

In November 2014, the company changed its name from Vistaprint N.V. to Cimpress N.V. to clarify the distinction between the corporate entity and the company’s portfolio of customer-facing brands.[2]

Acquisitions

Cimpress has acquired several companies that specialize in online printing and mass customization.

In November 2011, Cimpress acquired Albumprinter which it later divested in 2017, a company based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands that produces photobooks and Webs, a company based in Silver Spring, Maryland, that enables users to create free websites.[7][8]

In 2014, Cimpress acquired People & Print Group (renamed Printdeal as of January 1, 2015), an online printing company based in Deventer, Netherlands.[9] In the same year, it acquired Pixartprinting, an online printing company based in Quarto d'Altino, Italy.[10]

Manufacturing

Cimpress businesses have manufacturing facilities in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia.[2] In 2016, the company opened its first US manufacturing plant in Reno, Nevada.[11]
