European growth strategy

Dataline is an ambitious and growing company. Throughout the years we have slowly and meticulously expanded our target audience.

In the print media industry, MIS and ERP are developing into the central hub for complete process automation.

Dataline is at the forefront of this transformation with MultiPress, and we've observed a surge of interest in the European market for this aspect.

Dataline CEO and founder Dirk Deroo provides insight into Dataline's European expansion strategy.

One strategy, one European network

Dataline is fully committed to a targeted buy and build strategy to further strengthen its position as market leader in Europe:

  • Buy: By acquiring strong, local companies, we reinforce our European market position. This not only brings us their products, customers, and market knowledge, but also significantly expands our scale.
  • Build: Thanks to that scale, we can make targeted investments in further developing our own organisation and continuously innovating our MultiPress products. In this way, we are building a stronger, future-proof market position step by step.

This approach fits within our broader expansion strategy: we are creating one powerful Dataline network that combines local expertise with international scale.

Our acquisitions of Dansk Data Service (Denmark), PRAGMA (Germany), Palmart (Spain), Arkki (Finland), and Insad Grafisch (Netherlands) illustrate our strategy. These companies each bring valuable expertise and local market knowledge, enabling us to serve our customers even better and further innovate our software solutions.

Under the motto better together, we are contributing to a stronger European ecosystem. Follow our growth story and discover what collaboration can truly mean.
