Our take
Storio group is a personalised photo company that creates photo books, wall decor, calendars, and gifts that are tailored to the individual.
The result of a merger that combined eight brands across fourteen European markets, Storio group is vertically integrated and, unlike many competitors, manufactures the vast majority of the products it sells. The pan-European company serves over 7 million customers and is rapidly expanding, with its own state-of-the-art printing facilities across the European continent.
The company rebrand in 2024 was part of a two-year post-merger strategy that focused on integration, innovation, and growth across the Storio group. With 11 million customers across the globe across its brands, Storio group’s new identity follows a leadership change and signifies a significant brand consolidation.
