Ott Imprimeurs

What Ott Imprimeurs does

Ott Imprimeurs is a French industrial offset printing company founded in 1884 and headquartered in Wasselonne, Alsace. It operates from a 7,000+ m² production site on a 3-hectare campus, running continuously 24/7 with three large-format KOMORI presses — a GL-540A HC (5 colors plus acrylic varnish, installed 2022), a GL-440A HUV LED (4 colors, installed 2023), and a GL-840PA HUV LED (8 colors in perfecting, installed November 2024). The technology stack uses Agfa Apogee V11 PDF workflow, Agfa Avalon thermal CTP (chemistry-free plate making), PSO ISO 12647-2 color standardization, and H-UV LED instant-dry curing, with integrated finishing covering more than 90% of orders in-house (folding, stitching, binding, lamination, shrink wrapping).

The company sells on a quote-based model to enterprise, mid-market, and SMB customers producing commercial documents — brochures, books, catalogs, packaging, and promotional materials. Sales are conducted through regional offices in Strasbourg, Paris, and Lyon, plus a dedicated quote service and prepress/fabrication email channels. Differentiators are environmental credentials (ISO 14001 since 2010, IMPRIM'VERT, FSC, PEFC, EcoVadis Bronze 2025) and PSO-certified color fidelity.

Ott Imprimeurs is part of the GESTPRINT graphical group, alongside Printot & IXO Imprimeurs, Imprimerie de Champagne, and Rako Étiquettes. The company is privately held with 60+ employees, has not disclosed revenue or funding, and serves customers across the Grand Est, Île-de-France, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions. Recent activity centers on capital reinvestment in presses and finishing capacity, partly co-financed by REACT-EU/FEDER Grand Est grants.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Cimpress (VistaPrint): Global web-to-print incumbent serving small businesses and consumers with standardized digital print products. A broader incumbent competitor targeting the long-tail of print demand that Ott does not address with its offset-only stack.

• Brodard et Taupin: French commercial and book printer with industrial-scale production. Comparable in offset technology investment, French customer base, and integrated prepress-to-binding workflow.
• Stipa Imprimeur: French commercial printing company operating industrial-scale offset production. Comparable in customer mix (publishers, brand owners) and integrated production approach.
