History
DG press was founded in August 2009 by Remko Koolbergen, former Service Manager of Drent Goebel, and Peter Kloppers, former Operations Manager of Drent Goebel. DG press started with 12 former Drent Goebel employees who worked in service, spare parts, and engineering.
In the early years, DG press was primarily focused on services: taking care of existing machine maintenance, selling spare parts, and used machines. This focus has never wavered, and DG press now serves over 400 satisfied customers worldwide. Today DG press is a specialist in the engineering, installation, servicing, and maintenance of Drent Goebel printing presses (Vision and VSOP®). On top of that, DG press is developing and building new presses such as the modernised DG-Vision and DG-AUXO. DG press maintains its mission to be the best partner for the printing business by delivering top quality variable size hybrid web offset printing equipment and exceptional services. Thereby facilitating our customers to fulfil their production goals in the most sustainable way.
