bergertextiles is an international specialist in digital printing textiles, solutions and services with over 170 years of experience in the industry.  

Multi-Plot Europe GmbH has long been a leading company in the field of digital textile printing and microfactory.  

Printing with disperse or sublimation inks is the most popular ink technology used, when polyester fabrics are printed and currently has the largest share in the field of digital textile printing.

In classic textile printing however, printing with pigment inks has a market share of over 50%.

Cotton, mixed fabrics, viscose and also polyester fabrics, can be printed in the best possible way. 

Based on years of know-how, a new pigment ink was developed by Multi-Plot in Germany especially for d.gen textile printers and presented for the first time in the ÖkoPitex project together with the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences. 

The new pigment ink requires no water or steam in the fixing process, only heat, and is therefore very sustainable. 

bergertextiles has now developed a comprehensive range of “Personal Fabrics”, which are perfectly suited for d.gen’s Multi-plot pigment inks.

The bergertextiles range for the home and fashion sector, are optimised for digital pigment printing and offer outstanding colour reproduction, superior hand-feel and high wash resistance.

For example, the universal classic “Single Jersey Allround 180” made of pure organic cotton is kind to the skin, breathable, stretchy and offers growth potential into new and future markets. 

With these new projects, the two companies want to make it easier for their customers to streamline internal processes, enter new markets and most importantly – grow their business. 

This  sales co-operation with bergertextiles will enable customers to achieve logistical added value, especially in the large-format sector, even for small purchase quantities. 

Through many years of experience and the new knowledge exchange between both companies, the added value for the customer will also be increased, as the work process from paper, to fabrics, to colour profiling is individually adapted.  

In the past, both companies have co-operated and exchanged synergies in various areas and ultimately deepened this co-operation in the field of pigment printing.   

About Berger Textiles

The company can already look back on almost 170 years of experience.

It all began with the foundation of the company in 1849, still under the name of Fa. Schüssler & Co.

At first they traded as wholesalers with various cotton fabrics for stages, theatres and large screens which were painted by hand.

In the 80’s they concentrated on digital printing and in fact, developed a process for coating fabrics, making them digitally printable.

Over the years, this spirit of innovation and quality awareness has resulted in many other processes and products such as be.tex® Samba® FR, which continues to set the benchmark in the industry today.

Together with their sales partners, bergertextiles sells more than 9 million square meters of textiles and accessories, in more than 55 countries.
