Océ at De Goudse

“With the printers we have now we can do a lot more”, Paul Braam, Team Coordinator Document Services, De Goudse

De Goudse is a leading insurance company in The Netherlands, printing millions of pages of policies and customer mailings a year. Communication with customers is key in the services industry, so the company can’t afford any disruption in its printroom operations. When De Goudse wanted to increase the volume of its printroom output, the company chose Océ. Other suppliers couldn’t match the quality of Océ printing systems and the service of the Océ organization. What’s more, Océ ease of use has helped printroom operators adapt to the new systems quickly, and the ongoing support of Océ helps them get the most out of their machines.
