History

In 1946, Rik Matthys started his own printing company in the graphic town of Turnhout. The offset printing firm grew into a real family business.

The eldest son, Ludwig Matthys, then started a prepress company, de Turnhoutse Fotogravure, in 1984, becoming a strong player in the region, with collaborations with numerous graphics companies in Belgium and the Netherlands.

By merging the two family businesses in 1998 under Ludwig’s leadership, Graphic Group Matthys was born.

Ludwig’s 4 sons Pascal, Erik, Filip and Davy Matthys now guarantee the future of this independent, 100% family business.
