Swedish printing solutions provider folier.se has seen extraordinary growth, increasing its revenue from 18 million in 2019 to SEK 32 million in 2023. This rapid expansion underscores the company's strong position in the market for printing equipment and materials, catering to both textile and hard surface applications.
Folier offers a wide range of products, including cutting plotters, heat presses, and printers, along with consumables such as textile vinyl and sublimation supplies. With fast delivery times and expert customer support, the company has established itself as a go-to provider for businesses and creative professionals across Sweden.
One of the key factors driving this growth is the rising demand for direct-to-film (DTF) printing technology, an area where Folier continues to expand its offerings. The company is an authorized reseller of leading brands, including Epson’s latest SC-G6000 direct-to-film printer, a cutting-edge solution that enhances efficiency and print quality in textile applications.
“Our success comes from a strong focus on quality, customer service, and staying ahead of industry trends. The demand for innovative printing solutions is growing, and we are committed to delivering the best products and knowledge to our customers,” said Mikael Sandberg, CEO of Folier.se.
Interview with Mikael Sandberg, CEO of Folier.se
We interviewed Mikael Sandberg, CEO of Folier.se, to discuss the company’s impressive growth and the future of the printing industry.
What has been the key driver behind Folier’s success over the past four years?
Mikael Sandberg: “One of the biggest factors is our dedication to customer service and fast delivery. We have built a reputation for reliability, and that has been a game-changer in a competitive market. Additionally, we have embraced new printing technologies, such as direct-to-film (DTF), to meet evolving customer demands.”
How has the printing industry changed, and how has Folier.se adapted?
“Printing has become more customized and accessible than ever. Small businesses and individuals now have access to professional-grade printing solutions. We have expanded our range of products to ensure that both hobbyists and professionals find what they need, whether it’s textile printing, sublimation, or adhesive vinyl.”
Epson recently launched the SC-G6000 DTF printer. How important is this type of technology for your customers?
“DTF printing is a game-changer. It allows users to print high-quality designs on a wide variety of fabrics with fewer limitations than traditional methods. The Epson SC-G6000 is particularly exciting because it eliminates much of the manual maintenance associated with DTF printers. This makes it easier for businesses to scale up their production efficiently.”
What challenges have you faced during this period of rapid growth?
“Scaling a business quickly is always a challenge. We have had to ensure that our logistics and supply chain can keep up with increasing demand. Another challenge has been educating our customers on new printing technologies, which is why we invest heavily in our Print Academy to provide tutorials and support.”
What’s next for Folier.se? Where do you see the company in the next five years?
“We plan to continue expanding our product range and exploring emerging printing technologies. Sustainability is also a big focus for us—we want to offer more eco-friendly solutions that reduce waste. Ultimately, our goal is to remain the leading printing solutions provider in Sweden and expand further into the Nordic region.”
With a strong growth trajectory, a commitment to innovation, and a customer-first approach, Folier.se is well-positioned to shape the future of the printing industry in Sweden and beyond.
