2025 – A ship does not belong at the dock, but on the open sea

The holiday season provided us with a safe harbor—a moment of calm to reflect on a year filled with challenges, course adjustments, and victories. Together with those who made this journey possible, we find warmth in what we have achieved.

2024 was marked by changes in direction. What began as construction plans for a new warehouse took an unexpected turn. But just as a captain brings out the best in their ship during headwinds, we discovered new horizons. In July, we finalized the acquisition of DMSB, a direct mail and fulfillment company with a 3,000-square-meter warehouse. A new harbor, with opportunities far beyond what we had initially planned.

But we didn’t stop there. With an investment package of €400,000, we upgraded our production capabilities with faster and more precise finishing options. The result? From design to shipping, we now manage everything in-house. This allows us to respond more quickly, deliver perfectly finished mailings, and seamlessly integrate with our brand portal. It means added value for our clients and confirmation of our direction: to keep investing, innovating, and growing.

2024 also brought internal growth. Seven new colleagues enthusiastically joined our crew, enhancing not only our capacity but also our creativity. Together we achieved organic growth of 11%, and with the acquisition of DMSB, we even grew by 30% to a consolidated turnover of €9.1 million. But this is just a waypoint – on to €10 million and beyond!

What does 2025 have in store?
In the first quarter of 2025, we will launch our new website. While it might not seem monumental, I’m excited nonetheless. What we represent for our clients goes far beyond what you currently see online. From premium printwork, unique art books, and magazines to large format printing, direct mailing, graphic support, brand portals, and fulfillment: in every segment, specialists are ready to support your brand.

Our course is clear. The foundation we have built together ensures that in 2025, we can deploy not just one but multiple ships. We will continue to embrace challenges and create opportunities, even in turbulent waters. Thanks to our team and the trust of our clients, we keep navigating toward new horizons.

I would like to close with a heartfelt word of thanks. You—our clients, colleagues, and partners—are the heart of this story. Your projects, trust, and collaboration are what enable Buroform to keep growing, innovating, and inspiring. In our new showcase book, we’ve compiled the most beautiful results of the past year. It’s a testament to what we can achieve together.

To move forward, one must leave the safe harbor. Let’s continue discovering new destinations together in 2025.
