Waelkens: 100 Years of Mastery in Visual Communication

Since 1926, Waelkens has been a leading family-owned company in visual communication, specializing in large-format printing, flag production, and structural brand solutions. With nearly a century of experience, we help brands, organizations, and public spaces become visible, distinctive, and memorable, both nationally and internationally.

Our story began as a workshop for high-quality textiles and ceremonial garments. Through historic ties with the church, Waelkens quickly became a reference for flags, banners, and ceremonial applications. This tradition of craftsmanship, precision, and quality continues to define everything we do today.

In the 1970s, the third generation of Waelkens transformed the company into a specialist in textile embroidery and custom-made flags. Under the leadership of the fourth generation – David and Benedikt Waelkens – the family business evolved into a full-service partner in visual communication, helping brands make an impact through innovative and integrated solutions.

Thanks to continuous investments in a high-tech screen printing workshop, advanced large-format printing facilities, and strategic acquisitions, Waelkens has developed a unique vertically integrated production system. With our own metalworking workshop, we manufacture flagpoles, structures, displays, and supports entirely in-house, ensuring quality, flexibility, and speed.

  • Large-format printing, panels, and visual displays

  • Custom-made flags, poles, and ceremonial applications
