Makro Art in Switzerland has built a formidable reputation for grand-scale commercial work for such customers as Nestlé, Saab and Schwartzkopf. In recent years though, it has also produced the spectacular Strassenbilder public art projects in Basel, using bridges, streets, traffic islands, buildings and even the spaces in between them as easels to display the work of featured artists.

The company’s philosophy is summed up in its simple explanation of what it does – we advise, design, print, prepare and display. As one would expect in a company so intimately linked with visual communication, Makro Art puts a great emphasis on innovation and creative thinking.

Makro Art’s purchase of the first Vutek UltraVu 3300 in Switzerland, allowed it to launch wide format printing in the country. Now it has an UltraVu 2360, UltraVu 5300, UltraVu 3360, PressVu 180/600, a Roland Soljet Pro for photographic, high quality and fine art printing, and, bought in early 2006, a DuPont Artistri 3320 textile machine. Its work includes large-scale, in-store display, vehicle printing, events and promotions and exhibitions.

Having specialised in complicated, large scale graphics demanding exceptional quality, Makro Art has not only built an unrivalled technical expertise, its research into creative solutions is proving a powerful lure for both the artisan community and commercial buyers.
