What Imprimeurs does

Imprimeurs (legally Atelier Graphique du Cognaçais) is a family-owned printing group based in Cognac, France, operating three specialized sub-brands under the parent Groupe HDI: Atelier Graphique du Cognaçais for traditional offset, digital, and typographic printing of brochures, business cards, books, and signage; Atelier de l'Etiquette for screen-printed and flexographic labels with luminescent security marking, serving cognac, spirits, wine, and food producers; and Imprimerie Moreau, a heritage brand dating to 1870 that was acquired in 2014. The group employs approximately 10 people led by Director Sébastien Clavelaud, and is structured around diversified printing techniques (offset, digital, typo, screen, flexo) and finishing processes (gold stamping, embossing, foil stamping, raised varnish, lamination, surface treatment), with in-house graphic design and prepress services under the "Création" offering.

The customer base is dual-segmented: a primary vertical of premium cognac and spirits houses (Hennessy, Martel, Rémy Martin, Courvoisier, Camus, Bache Gabrielsen, Meukow, Alfred Giraud, Maison Villevert) for labels and prestige print, plus a horizontal B2B segment spanning independents, SMBs, and large enterprises for general commercial printing. Production runs span micro-series (from 50 copies) to large volumes, with routing and mailing services offered as a finishing touch. The company maintains the imprim-vert environmental certification and partners with local cultural organizations (Cognac Blues Passions, Fête du Cognac) to reinforce its regional identity.

Revenue mechanics are entirely project-based and quote-driven with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: phone (05 45 35 32 68), email, and on-site visits to the single Cognac facility at 27 Rue de Marennes, with no digital channels, no e-commerce, and no API or self-service platform. The company operates solely within France, with no stated global footprint, and has no recorded external funding or investor ownership.

Regional players

• Groupe Imprimerie Européenne: French multi-site printing group offering offset, digital and label services across multiple regions. Comparable as a similarly France-rooted commercial printer with label and finishing capabilities competing for the same SMB and mid-market French clients as Imprimeurs.
• Imprimerie de Champagne: Heritage printing company based in the Champagne region serving wine and spirits producers with premium labels and packaging. Directly comparable in vertical (premium French beverage labels), regional scope, and finishing depth (embossing, foiling).
• Chouette Imprimerie: Online-first French commercial printer serving SMB customers across France with offset and digital production. Comparable as a France-based generalist printer competing for the same small-business brochure, business card, and signage work.
• Imprimerie Chirat: Independent French printing house based in the Loire/Rhône region serving wine and luxury beverage clients with labels and premium packaging. Comparable as a heritage regional French printer targeting the same wine/spirits vertical.

Direct peers

• Etik & Co: French label printing specialist serving wine, spirits, and food industries with small to medium production runs and security features. Closely comparable on screen/flexo label capability and micro-series positioning targeting the same beverage accounts.
• Sprint Rey: French commercial printer offering offset, digital, and finishing services to SMB and enterprise clients across France. Comparable as a multi-technique French printer with similar premium finishing capabilities and B2B GTM motion.

Others

• Antalis: Major European distributor of paper, packaging and visual communication products, including labels and print substrates. Comparable as an enabler/competitor in the French print supply chain — supplies substrates and competes for downstream label and packaging wallet share.

Emerging players

• Caractère Imprimeur: Independent French printing company offering offset, digital and finishing services to SMB and mid-market clients. Comparable as a similarly sized French commercial printer with premium finishing offerings and B2B sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• Multi-Color Corporation: Large global label converter serving wine, spirits and beverage brands with pressure-sensitive labels and security features. Comparable as a label specialist with security/anti-counterfeit capability, but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• CCL Industries: World's largest label manufacturer with operations across food, beverage and spirits. Comparable on label printing technology and spirits/wine end-market, though operates at global scale far beyond Imprimeurs' regional footprint.
