Siegwerk USA | 2026 Weihnachtswald Sponsor
We’re pleased to announce Siegwerk USA as the Weihnachtswald Sponsor of Christkindlmarket Des Moines 2026.
Siegwerk was founded in Siegburg, Germany in 1830 as a retailer of manufactured goods. The company capitalized on its expertise in printing obtained from the “Kattunfabrik”, a fabric print shop, and progressed to become one of the top international manufacturers of printing inks and coatings. Globally, Siegwerk employs over 5,000 people in 30 countries.
Siegwerk plays an important role in packaging, as we use color to bring products to life for our customers. Every day people come across Siegwerk inks no matter where they are, including walking down the grocery aisle where there are many offerings of examples including confectionery packaging, beverage bottles or food pouches.
Des Moines is the home of Siegwerk’s U.S. headquarters and is proud to sponsor this event, as having strong roots from Germany, and celebrating over 200 years in business. We love seeing the European culture come to life in our city.

Testimonials
I look forward to Des Moines Children’s Museum participating in Christkindlmarket every year because it is so much fun and a great activity to bring our board closer. Working with another nonprofit and talking to others partnering has been enjoyable even as we stomp our feet staying warm.
Christkindlmarket is a fabulous way for nonprofits to connect with one another and the community while also promoting cultural awareness and local cottage industries! They are great to work with and full of caring for the community! Rev. Amy Johnson, New Hope United Methodist Church, Des Moines
