Vrijdag Takes Over Gestel Printing Eindhoven

Today, an agreement was reached concerning the take-over by Vrijdag of Gestel Printing Company BV and Gestel Holding BV.

The transaction comprises the immovables as well as all of Gestel's machines at the Hurksestraat in Eindhoven. A limited part of the activities will be integrated in Vrijdag Premium Printing at the Limburglaan in Eindhoven. In addition, a slimmed-down organisation will start up again at the Hurksestraat, under the name of Gestel Premium Printing.

‘The take-over of Gestel is in line with the strategic focus of our company', says Henk Nota, director of Vrijdag Premium Printing. Like Vrijdag Premium Printing, Gestel has ample experience in the production of high-quality and specialised packaging and labels. The take-over will complement Vrijdag, providing the group with a very wide range of high-tech features, including sheet fed gravure, 8-colour offset, bronzing, embossing and hot foil stamping technology, specialist die cuts, and the assembly of cardboard boxes for the tobacco industry. Like Vrijdag's employees, the people at Gestel are professionals who are dedicated to the manufacture of beautiful products for their customers.

That is why we can offer our shared customer base unique possibilities to present their products in a distinguished and distinguishing manner.

Gestel was founded in 1880 and has a rich history. Here, Vincent van Gogh lithographed his drawings during his Nuenen period. He also purchased his black printing ink here, which he used to add more depth to the dark passages of his paintings.

From its foundation until the present day, Gestel has been specialised in high-quality labels and packaging; and like Vrijdag, the company won numerous prestigious prizes.

Vrijdag Premium Printing is specialist in the printing of high-quality labels and packaging. The company was founded in 1905 and is a financially sound and strong family business.
