The story of Vollherbst

Family business
Vollherbst

Founding of the bookbindery

In 1856, Franz Anton Vollherbst (1824-1908) founded a bookbindery in Endingen, Germany, laying the foundation for the development of today’s graphic design business.

Founding of the print shop

Franz Anton Vollherbst (1888-1962), continued in father Alexander and grandfather Franz Anton’s footsteps in the bookbinding business while also working as a vintner. In 1921, he expanded the bookbindery with the founding of the Vollherbst print shop.

Growth of the print shop

In 1950, Franz Vollherbst (1925-1998) became the second generation of the family to head the printing business and grew it to a successful medium-sized company.

Professional brand management

Dr Franz-Josef Vollherbst (1950-) was the third generation Vollherbst to take over the family business in 1984. With his vision to expand the printing business by becoming the interface between marketing, design and printing, he opened up new markets.

Excellence, innovation and sustainability

In 2014, Franz-Josef brought his sons, Matthias and Stefan, the fourth generation of Vollherbsts, on board to manage the company and in 2020, he handed over the reins to them. The two brothers’ corporate goal is the pursuit of holistic, sustainable excellence.
