DRUCKFARBEN Group, a leader in printing inks for flexible packaging, architectural coatings, building materials and energy saving solutions, held the official inauguration ceremony for its new production facility in Chalkis on October 23, 2025.
Around 200 guests attended the ceremony, including representatives of local authorities, business partners and employees. His Eminence Porphyrios performed the blessing, reaffirming the group's longstanding connection with the local community of Euboea.
The opening of the new facility marks the completion of a significant investment plan as part of the Group's broader transformation strategy. It reflects the Druckfarben Group's commitment to technological excellence, production autonomy and sustainable growth.
The new website features:
• Improved manufacturing infrastructure designed to increase productivity, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency.
• Lower ecological footprint, made possible by advanced systems that significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
• Completely digitalized processes, improving production processes and quality.
• Highly efficient photovoltaic system that covers more than 60% of the system's energy needs.
• Expanded research and development department focused on developing next-generation sustainable solutions.
• Dedicated production lines for eco-friendly inks, suitable for mono-material substrates and completely NC-free (nitrocellulose-free), supporting packaging solutions that promote the circular economy.
These investments significantly strengthen the group's export-oriented capabilities, which already represent more than 40% of total sales, and expand its presence in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
“The inauguration of our new facility in Chalkis marks an important milestone in our company’s journey and vision,” says George Karavasilis, CEO of DRUCKFARBEN Group. “We are proud to open a location that embodies our core values: innovation, sustainability, quality and productivity. We warmly thank His Eminence for his blessing and the local community for their continued support.”
The new facility is expected to make a significant contribution to the local economy by creating new jobs (employment growth of more than 10% in the last three years) and strengthening Greece's industrial production base, thereby consolidating the DRUCKFARBEN Group as an important pillar of extrovert and responsible industrial development.
