It all started in 2002 as start-up for T-shirts in Leipzig. Today, the Spread Group family consists of five brands at the core of our business model. We only print what our customers really want – when they want it. We have retained the start-up flair at our Leipzig headquarters, while continuing to keep growing into the world’s leading company for on-person self-expression. Our global operations are located at four locations – in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and the USA. More than 1,000 employees from 52 countries are part of this great adventure.
