In the world of graphic machinery, trust is everything. Whether you’re a print shop looking to upgrade equipment, a production facility in need of expert installation, or an international business searching for a reliable partner with global reach—having the right team by your side can make all the difference. That’s where Mekes comes in.
Founded in 1985, Mekes Graphic Machinery has grown from a small family business into a leading name in the global graphic machinery industry. Built on passion, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality, Mekes has established itself as a trusted partner for companies around the world.
A rich history rooted in passion
Mekes began as “Grafische Handelsonderneming Ronald Mekes B.V.”, founded by Ronald Mekes and his wife Edith. Ronald’s passion for the graphic machinery was no coincidence—he came from a family steeped in the print and graphics industry. That heritage translated into an immediate understanding of customer needs, technical processes, and the ever-evolving challenges of the trade. What started with dedication and a clear vision quickly evolved into a growing business.
As the company expanded, so did its ambitions. In 1994, Mekes relocated to a 7,000-square-meter facility in Roosendaal, the Netherlands. This location includes modern offices, a spacious warehouse, and fully equipped workplaces—all designed to provide customers with efficient logistics, quick turnaround times, and world-class service.
Solutions for every stage of the machinery lifecycle
One of the strongest reasons to partner with Mekes is their ability to support clients through every stage of their equipment’s lifecycle. Mekes isn’t just a machinery dealer. They are a full-service provider offering consultation, sales, logistics, installation, maintenance, and aftercare.
When it comes to purchasing machinery, Mekes offers a wide range of high-quality pre-owned graphic machines. From offset printing presses to bindery and finishing equipment, every machine is thoroughly inspected and tested by experienced technicians. Their approach ensures that customers don’t just get a machine—they get a solution that meets their operational demands and budget.
But Mekes’ service doesn’t stop after the sale. Their technicians are trained to handle complex installations, relocations, and machine upgrades. Whether a client needs to move a single press across town or an entire production line across continents, Mekes has the logistics expertise and hands-on experience to make it happen seamlessly.
In addition, Mekes maintains a large inventory of spare parts and offers routine maintenance services, ensuring that your equipment runs efficiently and stays productive for years to come. This comprehensive, long-term view of machinery lifecycle management is one of the core reasons clients return to Mekes again and again.
International presence with local understanding
Another significant advantage of working with Mekes is their global footprint paired with local expertise. From its base in the Netherlands, the company has established regional offices in Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom, strategically positioned to serve the wider European market. Each location is managed by seasoned professionals with in-depth knowledge of local industries, regulations, and customer expectations.
But Mekes’ influence doesn’t end in Europe. The company has also cultivated partnerships across the globe—including in the United States, India, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. This network enables Mekes to deliver consistent service worldwide, coordinate international logistics, and maintain high standards across borders. For businesses with global operations, this international reliability is an invaluable asset.
A reputation you can rely on
With already 40 years in the industry, Mekes built a loyal client base and a long track record of successful projects. From small family-run print shops to multinational corporations, clients choose Mekes not only for their services but because they deliver on their promises.
