Yes. Logos and templates can be uploaded or simply photographed with your phone; the configurator automatically converts them into a single-colour design suitable for stamping. If needed, an AMOS designer will help you with the design via live support.

Get in touch
From order to stamp
Every order is entered manually or automatically and then passes digitally through design, laser production, assembly and final inspection to shipping. At the end, up to 1,600 shipments leave our production sites in Schwerin and Cologne every day.
01 / 07
Every order is entered in the AMOS system before production. This makes it possible to track each order in full from receipt to dispatch, internally in the company and externally for customers via the AMOS tracking website.
While the stamp is being typeset, the item lists (mounts, blanks) for assembly are already being created. All system components are networked and integrated, so all data only has to be entered once and is then available everywhere.
02 / 07
In the typesetting department, the stamp layout is designed with care. The typesetting system is linked to the order software, so the layout data (dimensions, text, preview of the imprint) is transferred to it automatically.
03 / 07
AMOS has a modern production facility. Various processes are used to manufacture a wide range of products for the stamp market:
Since 2011, AMOS has also been using Trotec Laserati systems. A dedicated laser room was set up for them, and a sophisticated ventilation and extraction system provides a clean working environment.
04 / 07
Special workstations have been created in assembly. The work tables are set at standing height for healthy working. Some tables are electrically height-adjustable so that every employee can set up their workstation ergonomically.
05 / 07
The AMOS warehouse is one of the largest in the stamp industry. The aim is to ship goods on the day they are ordered. That is why ink pads, for example, are always in stock in large quantities and in every colour, as are less frequently requested items such as numbering stamps.
06 / 07
In final inspection, products are pre-sorted for dispatch and checked again very carefully. A dedicated web application allows products to be removed or added afterwards. The error rate at AMOS is currently just 1.2%. In other words, 98.8% of all custom-made orders are delivered correctly. If mistakes do occur, we always settle them generously.
07 / 07
Every day, more than 800 shipments leave the Schwerin plant and another 800 leave Cologne. Most of the more than 1,500 stamp products sent out daily are packed and shipped on behalf of the many dealers and online shops. Delivery notes and shipping labels are generated individually in the dealer’s name.
E-commerce
In the e-commerce competence centre, eight employees look after customers in the various online shops during the day. AMOS provides a complete service here for a number of office supply retailers. In the stamp shop, end customers can contact an employee of the e-commerce department directly by hotline and chat. Advice is often given in the dealer’s name.

From the merger of two long-established companies in Schwerin to the AMOS Group with locations in Germany and Denmark.
AMOS is founded by the long-established companies A. Mosthaf (Frankfurt, founded 1905) and Hagedorn & Dänicke (Hamburg, founded 1885). The aim is to join forces, move production out of the cities and secure market leadership for the long term. In February 2005, AMOS starts operations in Schwerin.
JanuaryAMOS is formed from the merger of the two long-established companies A. Mosthaf GmbH & Co. KG in Frankfurt and Hagedorn + Dänicke GmbH in Hamburg and is entered in the Schwerin commercial register on 25 January 2005.
MarchThe three-month conversion work in Schwerin is complete. The first employees are trained in Hamburg by Hagedorn & Dänicke staff.
AprilProduction in Hamburg moves to Schwerin. The new order entry system is up and running – from this point on, there is no going back.
JuneThe production of both companies is merged and located entirely in Schwerin. The existing sales teams continue to work in Frankfurt and Hamburg and look after all customers. The shops in Frankfurt and Hamburg also remain important points of contact for customers.
AugustAMOS produces multi-coloured stamps with Trotec’s latest laser, initially in 4 different colours. AMOS is the first stamp manufacturer to let customers track all orders online: from receipt of the order to delivery with proof of signature, dealers and end customers can follow and archive their orders.
MarchThe assembly department is equipped with new assembly tables made specially for its needs, and the stock kept on site is expanded.
JuneAMOS receives a visit from the Minister of Economic Affairs of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

NovemberTwo Laserati systems (Trotec) are put into operation. Investment including conversion and ventilation system: approx. EUR 300,000.
JuneThe international magazine of the marking industry (Marking Industry) names AMOS Manufacturer of the Year 2014.
JuneTo mark its 10th anniversary, AMOS invites all employees, including partners and children, on a short cruise to Oslo.
OctoberAMOS receives its third Trotec Laserati, enabling it to produce 3,750 cm² of stamp plates per hour.
JanuaryMr Mosthaf leaves the management for health reasons and hands sole operational responsibility to Mr Pemöller. The staff structure is then reorganised; this is completed by the end of the year.
AprilThe new Stempelshop 4.0 is rolled out. After 6 months of intensive planning and programming, a completely new stamp shop is created, with a flexible configurator that works on all devices and can easily be integrated into existing ordering systems and shop portals. Various plug-ins and interfaces are available.
JanuaryOn 1 January 2018, AMOS takes over the entire business operations of Lerp GmbH and Gmähle GmbH. The managing directors are Mr Markus Lerp and Mr Jan Pemöller. With around 50 employees, this creates Germany’s largest stamp manufacturer. Production is expanded and warehouse capacity doubled. With a total of 8 laser systems, up to 2,000 stamps are produced every day.
JanuaryOn 1 January 2020, AMOS takes over the entire business operations of Stempelkontor GmbH, significantly expanding its wholesale division. Former managing director Hans Dieter Gietz joins the team.
AprilOn 1 April 2023, AMOS takes over the entire business operations of Schütt AS in Denmark from Ronald and Gurli Borgen, expanding its business into a neighbouring country. Most of the employees in Denmark are retained; production takes place in Schwerin.
JanuaryThe conversion and relocation of the typesetting department is complete. New departments for e-commerce and digital marketing are created, along with a new laser room for personalisable “non-stamp products” such as drinking bottles, wooden boards and mugs. AMOS invests in a fibre laser that can engrave metals.
MayOn 1 May 2024, the wholly owned foreign subsidiary Schütt ApS takes over the business operations of JYSK ApS from Poul Erik Lademann in Denmark.
JuneAfter 10 years, another 4-day study trip to Trodat and Colop. For Mr Lerp it is his last trip as managing director; he leaves the company and from now on acts solely as a shareholder.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your question? Call us on +49 385 67672-0 or write to info@amos-stempel.de.
Yes. AMOS was founded in 2004 as a merger of the long-established companies A. Mosthaf (founded 1905) and Hagedorn & Dänicke (founded 1885) and started operations in February 2005. SGS Gmähle (founded 1960) and Lerp & Co (founded 1985) joined in 2018. The aim was to join forces, move production out of the cities and secure market leadership for the long term. In 2014, the international trade magazine Marking Industry named AMOS “Manufacturer of the Year”. Today AMOS runs its own web shops in France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria and has a subsidiary in Denmark, AMOS Denmark. AMOS is a partner of all major purchasing groups in the office supplies trade and a member of the Trodat Premium Partner programme. The company is also active in European trade associations and supports Aegraflex and the Flexografen.
Yes. In addition to payment in advance, PayPal and credit card, you can order on account and pay by invoice. Invoices are due 14 days after the invoice date.
Yes. AMOS offers a closed e-procurement shop with punch-out connection to SAP/R3 and return via the OCI interface. Available products, fonts and logo layouts are set up for each customer, and every order shows the finished imprint as a proof.
Dealers receive the AMOS main catalogue with recommended retail prices, Stempelshop 4.0 free of charge and neutral drop shipping with the dealer’s delivery note and logo. AMOS is a partner of Soennecken, PBS-Deutschland, Büroring and DUO Schreib & Spiel and is listed in e-catalogues such as IBX, Ariba and Onventis.
Yes. With AMOS order tracking, customers and dealers can see at any time where an order is, from receipt to delivery. Once typesetting is done, a preview of the stamp imprint is already visible. The tracking ID with a link to the logistics partner completes the service.
Both manufacturers offer high-quality self-inking stamps for the office and industry; which one suits you depends on the imprint size, how often you stamp and what you use it for. AMOS makes text plates for stamp products from Trodat, Colop and other brands and gives brand-independent advice.
For everyday office use with frequent stamping, a self-inking stamp is usually the better choice: the ink pad is built in and the imprint is clean and quick. Classic wooden or hand stamps with a separate ink pad are suitable for large imprints, changing colours and special inks.
AMOS supplies replacement text plates and replacement ink pads for Trodat, Colop and Reiner directly or via your dealer. Ink pads in all colours are always in stock so that they can be shipped on the day of the order.
In Germany there is no legal requirement to have a company stamp, so there are no mandatory contents either. A company stamp usually shows the company name with its legal form, the address, telephone, email or website and often the logo; depending on its use, bank details or the VAT identification number are added.
