Founded in 2006, Sky Printing and Advertising is a dynamic and visionary private limited company that has carved a distinguished presence in Ethiopia’s ever-evolving printing and advertising industry. With humble beginnings as a small firm rooted in ambition, Sky was established with a bold and clear vision — to redefine industry standards through innovation, quality, and relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction.
From day one, Sky Printing and Advertising set out not merely to participate in the market, but to transform it. Our journey has been one of continuous growth, strategic investments, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Over the years, we have systematically scaled our capabilities by acquiring modern printing and finishing machinery, building a highly skilled workforce, and establishing a fully integrated and self-sustained workshop. These elements, combined with a strong organizational culture focused on integrity, creativity, and service, have propelled Sky into a position of leadership within the sector.
Sky has not only survived in a competitive environment but thrived by becoming a trusted partner for countless organizations, institutions, and individual clients. Our customer base spans across government offices, NGOs, corporate entities, schools, event organizers, fashion brands, and many others who value precision, quality, and timely delivery.

ISO Certification
Sky Printing and Advertising can be privileged to be granted an ISO 9001 quality management standard certificate. We take pride in being one of the few companies that have this level of certification in the country.
ISO 9001 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified. There are over one million companies and organizations in over 170 countries certified to ISO 9001.
Sky can be selected for this opportunity because of the accomplishments it has recorded with the services it used to deliver to international companies in Hawassa Industrial Park.
Hence, with the supposition of strengthening Sky to further extend its reputed services, it could achieve the ISO 9001 certification with the support and training it had obtained from the Industrial Parks Development Corporation and the World Bank.
Since ISO 9001 certification helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services, it has enabled us to work with multiple international companies.
