About us

Printing machines

Tradition and ink run through our veins

In 1954 Manuel González izquierdo establishes GOFER PRINTERS.

Since then, we have adapted to the constant changes in the market of an area heavily influenced by technological development. We are steadily marking headway with the confidence that only years of experience can provide to offer you the most advanced printing technology available.

Long gone are the days when lead movable types and handcrafted printing were used, and that small print shop is now, sixty years later one of the leading companies in the field. At present, proud of our roots, we are able to provide a quality service to comply with most of the needs of our clients.

We put at your disposal both of our production centres.

Environment

Responsibility, respect and commitment

This are not empty words. They respond to an ever growing need to look after our environment and become aware of the consequences of our actions. We believe there’s a better way to do things and we want to prove it.

Responsibility

We take responsibility for the environmental impact of our business by following a minimal consumption policy, providing internal awareness, saving resources and keeping a conscious management of the residuals.

Respect

We work every day enforcing environmentally friendly work ethic, looking to minimise the impact our industrial activity may have on the environment.

Commitment

We commit ourselves to be a sustainable printing company by following a set of rules created to enforce the responsible management of residues, water and energy, as well as the use of environmentally friendly products.

This way we can prove that quality printing and sustainable production are not just compatible but also necessary in a society that is growing more aware of the importance of respect and care for the environment.

With every product you choose to print with us, you’re also choosing sustainability and efficiency.

We work in the present, with our sight on the future, something future generations will be grateful for.

Water saving

We have a system which recycles and reuses water during the printing processes, this allows us to replace it less frequently, thus managing a substantial amount of water saving and reducing the environmental impact.

Energy efficient management

We take great care in making sure that our supply systems and equipment are energy efficient. Our modern light system and the use of the residual heat from the equipment to warn up the facilities also help to reduce the consumption of energy.

Responsible buying

We make sure all our paper has a certified and controlled origin, we also make sure that our providers comply with the necessary environmental requirements.

Sustainable routines

The whole company has an involvement in the reduction of the consumption of paper, water and energy, by following a sustainable routine in both the offices and the workshop. Recycling routine, reuse office paper, double sided printing, optimisation of the use of paper, etc

Responsible management of the residues

We reuse and recycle both the remaining paper and the residual products generated by our activities. With this in mind, we make sure our residues are recycled by certified specialist in environmental sustainability.

Efficient processes

We use the least amount of resources possible in each process. Our high-quality standards in production help us avoid error issues by defect or excess hence avoiding wasting energy or paper.
