Pixartprinting is an Italian print on demand company. It is headquartered in Quarto d'Altino, Italy and part of the Cimpress group.
Pixartprinting operates in 12 European markets (Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, and Sweden).[1]
The company employs 911 people between its Veneto site and a second production plant in Lavis (Trento). The turnover for the 2023 financial year was Euro 226 million, a +16% increase compared to the previous year.
Founded in 1994 by Matteo Rigamonti as a traditional printing company in Marghera (VE), Pixartprinting ventured onto the web in 2000, choosing to transform itself into a pure e-commerce business.
In 2011, the ownership transferred 75% to Alcedo, a leading Italian investment fund in growth capital. The aim of the operation was to transition from an owner-operated to a managerial structure, capable of supporting the expansion project by providing not only capital but also strategic contributions to strengthen the business.[2]
In 2014, Alcedo sold 97% of Pixartprinting to Vistaprint (later Cimpress),[3] a company listed on NASDAQ (CMPR). In July 2016, Paolo Roatta was appointed CEO of Pixartprinting.[4]
Pixartprinting is a manufacturing e-commerce company, and production is centralized at the headquarters in Quarto d'Altino. It features printing technologies such as HP,[5] Komori, Canon (with 4 Prostream), Durst, and at the Trentino facility in Lavis (TN), Heidelberg.[6]
In spring 2021, Pixartprinting launched Gifta,[7] a B2C e-commerce site dedicated to personalized gifts, offering a wide range of products on which customers can print their photos, images, or texts: canvas prints, photo books, calendars, mugs, cushions, backpacks, bags, totes, panels, and wall decorations in various materials.
