Special feature: Flexibility!
Thieme adapts to the needs of the market at all times.
In addition to the continuously developed series machines in screen printing and digital printing, special machines with a focus on printing technology are another focal point in the product portfolio. Many years of experience in the construction of special machines make Thieme the ideal partner when it comes to developing complex and individual special designs with a focus on printing technology. Together with you we plan, design and build semi-automatic or fully automated systems. In doing so, we tailor your desired printing press solution to your individual needs - we build printing presses that are 100% tailored to the customer's requirements.
Developing, building and selling machines as well as providing service for installed machines - that's what we stand for at Thieme.

It all began with the contract manufacturing of machine parts. Then came special machines and finally, in 1965, a second business division, Thieme Kunststoffe. In 1976 Thieme began producing flatbed screen printing machines. At the end of the 1980s, the machine series was expanded from semi-automatic to three-quarter and fully automatic machines. The company also entered the glass market with glass screen printing machines for architectural and automotive glass. The Thieme Technical Centre was opened in 1993 and, in addition to a permanent in-house exhibition, was also the ideal place for demonstrations and trials that could be individually tailored to customers' needs. In 1994 Thieme launched the first multi-colour line. In 2004, a completely new fully automatic multicolour line was launched, and at the same time the development of large-format digital printing systems began. In 2014, the first digital printing system developed completely in-house was introduced to the market. In the meantime, many near-series special machines for digital printing have been delivered to customers here as well. In 2022, the Thieme Technology Center was relocated to the Rohrlache site and has since been available with state-of-the-art machinery as an Innovation Center for demonstrations, trials or contract manufacturing.
