Founded by two people with two presses and a clear idea: make every printed book a piece of art. Forty-five years later, we are 150 people, four buildings, 24 countries.
1980. Dario Martinelli and Gianni Girardi found Printer Trento in a small plant near Trento. Four employees, two offset presses, one clear idea: that the printing of a book should be, itself, a piece of art.
Today. 150 people split between the printing and binding plants. A 6,500 m² plant in the industrial area north of Trento, three more buildings nearby, customers in 24 countries, and the same obsession with what a printed book should be.
6,500 m² in Trento plus three more buildings within a 30 km radius. Printing, binding and logistics all under one ownership, one team, one quality standard.
