Tampoprint started as a one-man engraving business in 1956 originally in Stuttgart, Germany. Today the company is the market leader in the construction of special machines for pad printing and laser engraving.

Since printing has grown to mean more than decoration and lettering, Tampoprint has been pivotal in turning mere objects into effective products.

Tampoprint develops techniques to print on surfaces that are supposed to be unprintable or to print on substances that were previously unusable as print media.

In addition Tampoprint offers customizing, optimization, maintanance and repair services as well as courses of training for the operators of their machines.
