Cimpress N.V. is a Dutch company that specializes in mass customization. The company brings its products to market through a portfolio of brands that serve businesses, graphic professionals and consumers. Founded by Robert Keane in 1995, the company eventually acquired a number of other companies in various countries. It adopted its current name, Cimpress, in 2014 when the company reorganized with the intention of unifying its operational systems into a platform that would serve across its subsidiary brands.

Business
Cimpress is based in Venlo, Netherlands and employs 6200 people globally. Approximately 1,000 employees work at the company’s U.S. offices in Waltham, Massachusetts, having relocated from Lexington, MA in August 2015. It also has offices and manufacturing facilities throughout Europe as well as in India, Australia, China and Japan.

Through the use of its own patented technology, Cimpress aggregates, via the Internet, large volumes of small, individually customized orders for a broad spectrum of print, signage, apparel and similar products.

History
The company was founded under the brand Bonne Impression in 1995 in Paris, France by current President and CEO Robert Keane. In 1999, the company moved its business to the internet and changed its name to Vistaprint. This was followed by its initial public offering in 2005 when it began trading on the Nasdaq under VPRT. The company built its first manufacturing facility in Venlo, the Netherlands, in 2003. This was followed by a North American production facility in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, in 2005.

In November of 2011, Cimpress acquired Albumprinter, a company based Amsterdam, Netherlands that produces photobooks and Webs, a company based in Silver Spring, Maryland, that enables users to create free websites.

In 2014, Cimpress acquired People & Print Group (renamed Printdeal as of January 1, 2015), an online printing company based in Deventer, Netherlands. In the same year, it acquired Pixartprinting, an online printing company based in Quarto d'Altino, Italy. Also that year, the company changed its name to Cimpress N.V. to clarify the distinction between the corporate entity's manufacturing platform and the company’s portfolio of customer-facing brands.

In 2015, Cimpress acquired three additional online printing companies that serve the needs of resellers and graphic designers in Europe: Druck.at, Easyflyer, Exaprint and Tradeprint.

Cimpress has manufacturing facilities in several countries and a total manufacturing footprint of over 100,000 square meters (1,100,000 square feet). Through the use of its own patented technology, Cimpress is able to aggregate large numbers of customized orders from each of its brands and print them in automated production facilities.
