About RHIEM

The RHIEM Group is an owner-managed company based in Voerde, Germany. In 2008, RHIEM celebrated its 50th anniversary. What began in 1958 as a print shop in a family home in Duisburg-Walsum has developed into a global service provider with partners in North America, Asia and Europe.

The RHIEM Group consists of five distinct companies: RHIEM Packaging & Print GmbH, RHIEM Services GmbH, RHIEM Intermedia GmbH, RHIEM Branding Solutions GmbH and CAPREO GmbH. The group’s German headquarters operate from premises with a floor space of over 40,000m². The company has a 320-strong, highly motivated workforce and operates eight partner sites in Asia and North America.

Its roots lie in the printing firm founded by Franz Rhiem Sr. in 1958 in Duisburg-Walsum. Initially, the company specialized in pre-press services for local print shops. To make his business more independent, Franz Rhiem invested in printing presses, and in 1996 transferred the company’s headquarters to Voerde, setting the course for further growth. This step paid off, and RHIEM Druck quickly became a prosperous company, moving into other areas such as print processing. In the early 1990s, the emergence of the IT industry was the stimulus for RHIEM to offer its clients warehousing facilities and to provide other product-related services, such as packing. Soon after that, it began manufacturing plastic packs and boxes for software products. Among the first clients to avail of these packaging services was the software publisher Peter Norton, whose products were later absorbed by the software giant Symantec and Intuit Inc, a software company based in California.
