The foundation
We have been operating independently in the market for over 20 years, and with a consistent team.
We started in 1949 as "Chemigrafische GmbH" within the Main-Echo group of companies. Since the 90s we have been operating under the name "Mainteam" and have been economically independent since 1999. Today, you can find us with our creative and graphics department, with product development for packaging and advertising technology as well as with our in-house print shop on the premises of the Main-Echo media company. Our team consists of around 20 employees. The majority of them have been with the company for an average of 16 years. We are proud of this.
Mainteam's strengths
We are creative tinkerers & problem solvers.
We combine creative ideas with precise and rational realisation. Open to a wide range of challenges, we have been able to establish ourselves in several business areas over the course of our company's history. While our beginnings were technology-driven, the creative side at Mainteam has been growing steadily since the turn of the millennium. Our versatile team offers a wide range of services and solves even complex tasks reliably and on time.
Our ambition
Quality is our top priority.
We are interested in innovations and technical progress. Our curiosity makes us want to constantly develop further. Of course, we are hereby also guided by the requirements of the market.
As early as 1988, we were pioneers in IT. We have been PSO-certified since 2004, keep ourselves technically up to date and still know what colour accuracy means. We like to develop ourselves further, whether technically, graphically or creatively.
