AZ&DEP

What AZ&DEP does

AZ&DEP (legal entity SASU AZ ET DEP PUBLICITE SERIGRAPHIE, SIREN 338734049) is a French visual communication and industrial screen printing company founded circa 1993 and headquartered at 6 rue des Frères Lumière in Noyal sur Vilaine, in the Rennes metropolitan area. The company operates from a single integrated facility that includes a 500+ m² workshop dedicated to vehicle decoration alongside production workshops for screen printing and digital printing, and serves businesses and institutions primarily across Rennes, the broader Rennes basin, Brittany, and five neighboring departments (Calvados, Loire-Atlantique, Mayenne, Sarthe, Vendée).

The company's product portfolio is organized into six core service lines: adhesive logo and lettering, all-media digital printing, industrial screen printing (sérigraphie industrielle) on substrates including PVC, Akylux panels, polycarbonate (Lexan), aluminum, and wood, vehicle wrapping and marking (from simple adhesive marking to full vehicle covering), interior and exterior signage, and event signage (kakemonos, oriflammes, exhibition stands). Underlying capabilities include two digital printing stations, a CNC adhesive cutting (D.A.O.) workshop for precision lettering, and screen printing equipment that supports Braille, relief, and domed resin finishes, enabling the company to produce both one-off custom projects and higher-volume production runs.

AZ&DEP operates a sales-led, project-based business model, generating revenue primarily through custom quotes for visual communication services rather than disclosed pricing or recurring contracts. The customer base spans local SMBs (artisans, merchants) and larger enterprises (automotive/heavy vehicle dealers, banks, medical establishments, construction companies, public institutions, real estate agencies, event organizers) with no named anchor logos in the source data. Marketing is concentrated on the az-dep.com website supplemented by direct consultation and local reputation in the Rennes region, and the company describes itself as a "société à taille humaine" emphasizing experienced professionals and knowledge transfer to newer team members.

Regional players

• Picto: French visual communication and printing services company with expertise in signage, displays, and event materials. Comparable offerings in signage production and event communication but operating in different French regions.

Others

• Antalis: European distributor of paper, packaging, and visual communication products. Adjacent as a supplier of materials used in screen printing and signage production, and a strategic ecosystem partner for printing service providers.
• Avery Dennison: Global manufacturer of pressure-sensitive adhesive materials, films, and graphics products used in vehicle wrapping and signage. Adjacent as a materials supplier enabling the vehicle wrapping and adhesive signage services AZ&DEP performs.
• 3M Commercial Solutions: Global manufacturer of signage materials, adhesive films, and reflective materials used by signage service providers. Adjacent as a key materials supplier whose products (Controltac, IJ180Cv3 films) are used in vehicle wrapping and signage production.

Broad incumbents

• Clear Channel France: Major outdoor advertising and signage operator in France. Overlaps with AZ&DEP in exterior signage and display advertising but operates as a broad incumbent with national infrastructure rather than regional craft focus.
• Copy-Top: French national printing chain offering digital printing, signage, and visual communication services across multiple locations. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the same printing/signage service category, though serving a national footprint rather than regional.
• JCDecaux: Global leader in outdoor advertising and street furniture with significant signage capabilities. Comparable in outdoor/exterior signage and display advertising, though operating at vastly larger scale and serving national/international markets.

Direct peers

• Sérigraphie Française: French industrial screen printing specialist serving similar industrial and commercial customers with multi-substrate serigraphy capabilities. Comparable core technology (screen printing on PVC, aluminum, polycarbonate) and customer segments.
• Imprimerie Européenne: French commercial printing company offering screen printing, digital printing, and signage services to B2B clients. Directly comparable as a regional full-service printing and visual communication provider with similar product mix.

Emerging players

• Vistaprint (Cimpress): Online printing platform offering digital signage, banners, vehicle decals, and promotional materials via e-commerce. Represents the digital-first competitive threat to traditional regional printers like AZ&DEP, particularly in commoditized signage categories.
