Overview
Meissner Druck GmbH is an Austrian commercial printing company with roots going back to 1965, when Helmut Meissner sen. founded the Buchdruckerei Meißner. Over the following decades the business passed from father to son and later changed hands, eventually becoming part of the Arnold Group. Today the operation is closely associated with Arnold Druck in Innsbruck, while a team in Oberaudorf, Germany, acts as the group's creative studio. The company offers a broad range of graphic and printing services. Its portfolio includes graphic design, bookbinding, digital printing, offset printing, large-format printing, poster printing, label printing, and periodicals. It serves commercial customers who need customized print products, from the first draft through to the finished job. The firm emphasizes flexibility, fast turnaround, and high quality. A notable feature of the business is its environmental focus. Production in Innsbruck is described as leaving a green footprint, and deliveries are largely made with the company's own electric vehicles, a practice it has followed since 2014. Customers can choose high-quality recycled paper carrying recognized environmental labels such as FSC, Blauer Engel, and the EU Ecolabel. The company's history includes several strategic moves in recent years. In 2019 Christine Maier took over the business. In 2021 it re-entered offset printing by acquiring Walser Druck and relocating the presses to Innsbruck, and it adopted a new corporate identity as ARNOLD DRUCK | Innsbruck. In 2023 it expanded its machine park with a UV gel large-format printing system and a cutting plotter, and it acquired Copy Express Leitner and the customer base of Haltmeyer Innsbruck. In 2024 the business was merged and renamed Arnold Druck GmbH & Co KG. Meissner Druck GmbH therefore represents a traditional printing name that has been integrated into a larger regional printing group, combining craft heritage with modern digital and large-format production.
History
The company began in 1965 as Buchdruckerei Meißner, founded by Helmut Meissner sen. It operated as a traditional letterpress and book printing business. In 1985, Helmut Meissner jun. took over from his father, continuing the family tradition. In 2019, Christine Maier acquired the business, marking a new chapter. Under her ownership, the company pursued growth and modernization. A significant step came in 2021 when it re-entered offset printing by acquiring Walser Druck and moving the printing machines to Innsbruck. At the same time, the company rebranded as ARNOLD DRUCK | Innsbruck, aligning itself with the Arnold Group. Expansion continued in 2023 with the addition of a UV gel large-format printing system and a cutting plotter to its machine park. That same year, it acquired Copy Express Leitner in Innsbruck and took over the customer base of Haltmeyer Innsbruck. In 2024, the business was merged and renamed Arnold Druck GmbH & Co KG, consolidating its position within the Arnold Group. Throughout its recent history, the company has emphasized sustainability. Since 2014, deliveries have largely been made using the company's own electric vehicles. Production in Innsbruck is designed to minimize environmental impact, and customers can opt for recycled papers with FSC, Blauer Engel, and EU Ecolabel certifications. The team in Oberaudorf serves as the creative hub for the Arnold Group, handling design and customer support from initial concept to final printed product.
