12.12.2008 | Yamagata Europe's 10th anniversary

Okagesama de! (Thank you)

December marks Yamagata Europe’s 10th anniversary since we first began providing printing services. Thanks to a team of enthusiastic and skilful employees, cooperative suppliers and partners, but most of all, thanks to our loyal but ever-challenging clients who have supported us through the years, we have been able to grow from a tiny one-man shop to a professional company within the Yamagata family.
A decade young, we are just a babe-in-arms compared to the owner company that was founded back in 1905. Nevertheless, I will always see to it that we keep our youthful enthusiasm and creativity over the coming years.
I’m glad to announce that the turnover this jubilee year will top 10 million Euros for the first time, representing a growth of over 20% compared to last year.
