IMPRIMERIE DECOMBAT

What IMPRIMERIE DECOMBAT does

Imprimerie Decombat is a family-owned commercial printing company headquartered in Cébazat, near Clermont-Ferrand in France's Auvergne region, operating two production sites — the main facility in Cébazat and a secondary site in Aurillac opened in 2014. Founded in the 1970s, the company offers a full-service printing portfolio spanning offset printing (Heidelberg XL 106 with Low Energy UV, Komori LS 29, Ryobi), digital printing (HP Indigo 5500, Ricoh C7100), and large format printing (Agfa Anapurna 2500i), complemented by an in-house graphic design studio, pre-press capabilities, and finishing operations including binding, laminating, embossing, hot foil stamping, and die-cutting. The company processes more than 5,000 dossiers annually and delivers nationwide across France.

The company's product surface extends beyond print manufacturing through two proprietary digital platforms: ID Connect, a web-to-print platform with automated page layout for catalogs and recurring publications, and Picture Connect, an application that links printed materials to online video content via smartphone scanning. These platforms serve franchise networks, large groups, banks, and restaurant chains requiring decentralized printing with centralized brand compliance and budget control. The company also holds FSC, PEFC, and Imprim'Vert environmental certifications, an RT 2012-compliant manufacturing facility, and a dedicated public-markets capability — positioning it competitively for French public procurement. An in-house advertising subsidiary, Italique, conducts prospecting for municipalities, local authorities, and tourist offices, and engages in book publishing.

Imprimerie Decombat generates revenue through a mix of one-time printing service fees, project-based graphic design and finishing work, subscription fees for the ID Connect web-to-print platform, and transaction-based advertising services through Italique. The go-to-market is hybrid: a direct sales commercial service handles enterprise and public-sector clients, while the ID Connect platform enables self-serve ordering for franchise and multi-location customers. The company maintains regional sports and cultural sponsorships (ASM Clermont Auvergne, Clermont Foot, Europavox, Ekiden Auvergne, La Nuit des Publivores) and is a member of the Impriclub printing network and BPI France Excellence club.
