Empower, inspire & execute
For over a hundred years, we have applied our craftsmanship to brands that want to make a difference on the shelf. Family business. Nijkerk & Barendrecht. Proud.
Volkers was founded in 1925 as a graphic design company in Nijkerk. What began as manual labor in a small print shop has grown over the years into a leading specialist in premedia and packaging production. Not by chasing the latest trends, but by safeguarding professional expertise while continuing to innovate.
We are and will remain a family business. That means dedication, continuity, and the freedom to make decisions that are right for our clients and employees, not just for quarterly results. Our people know the trade from the inside out and have been working closely with the brands they serve for years.
