General information

Into the future with tradition

The name impress stands for a successful, globally-operating group that develops and manufactures
trend-oriented wood-based panel decorative surfaces for the furniture and laminate flooring industries
and is involved in modern interior design. The group’s product portfolio includes printed decorative
paper, impregnated paper, finish foil, inks and additives. In addition to creative demands, technical
innovation and outstanding product quality play a decisive role at impress. The surface specialist is
one of the world’s leading companies in the industry and supplies its well-known customers around
the world from its seven international production facilities.

The impress group is most convincing with its high degree of flexibility, agility and vision in making
business decisions, more than 85 years of experience within the sector, profound expertise and, above
all, the lasting confidence of its customers.

The basis for the impress group’s enduring success is its claim of working together with partners in the
market to use innovative technologies to develop design-oriented products. The company’s identity is
lived out in an intensive exchange of ideas along the entire value-added chain – from upstream suppliers
to the company’s own processes, further processing in the customer’s coating and laminating
process, and finally to successful positioning at the point of sale. As a result, impress is a competent
development partner with integrated ties to the supply chains of their business partners.

Even during the initial years, internationalisation was the declared objective of the company founders.
Today, the worldwide locations guarantee excellent service for customers, which makes them the
ideal platform for a future-oriented, strategic partnership with globally-operating companies. The emphasis:
for impress, the transfer of know-how, service quality, security of supply, process partnerships
and a high willingness to invest mean an intensive focus on future technologies and guarantee the
production of high quality products.

At impress, product development – with regards to print structure and surface finish and the convertibility
of the finished product – is one of the essential process steps with a partnership-based customer
approach and a direct exchange of competencies. An internationally positioned team of experts with
an outstanding network of contacts analyses global trends in design and surface technology and – in
collaboration with local customers – develops wood, stone and fantasy decors with future-oriented
performance properties, which reflect the diverse cultures and requirements of the respective regions.

Throughout the history of impress, the group has always critically analysed and validated the status
quo. The continuous improvement process (CIP) is an essential part of the company’s philosophy,
which is applied to both internal processes and to the interfaces to suppliers and customers. This has
resulted in new ways of thinking and structures that sustainably enrich the corporate culture and
ensure that the company is able to self-confidently look towards the future of the dynamic market of
wood-based panel decorative surfaces.
