Encres Dubuit

What Encres Dubuit does

Encres DUBUIT is a privately held French specialty chemicals company, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Mitry-Mory, France, that develops and manufactures industrial printing inks for screen printing, pad printing (tampography), and UV LED digital inkjet applications. Its product portfolio is organized around three core technology platforms: solvent-based and UV screen printing inks (including the Evopanel and Labelgloss series), single- and multi-component pad printing inks (D-PAD, MG-PAD), and a digital inkjet range under the EVOJET brand covering rigid, hybrid, non-CMR, flexible, glass, and fluorescent substrates. Specialized functional offerings include halogen-free non-CMR formulations, IR blocking and glue varnishes for card manufacturing, conductive inks for printed electronics (RFID, biosensors, touch screens), and a three-tier brand protection suite (Overt, Covert, Forensic) for anti-counterfeiting.

The company operates a multi-country manufacturing and distribution footprint with wholly-owned subsidiaries in France (Mitry-Mory headquarters plus Imprim'Vert-certified sites in Lille and Lyon), Spain (Barcelona), Belgium (Halle), Vietnam (Bien Hoa), and China (Shanghai, with a southwest China development laboratory opened in 2021). Sales reach additional markets through distributor networks and a 2020 manufacturing partnership with Flueron Inks in India. GTM is sales-led and direct, combining a customer portal, technical documentation request flows, distributor recruitment, and trade-show participation across events such as Paris Packaging Week, Label Expo, GlassPrint, K Show, Luxe Pack Monaco, and ICMA conferences.

Encres DUBUIT generates revenue through B2B sales of industrial ink products under a quote-based pricing model, with no public pricing disclosed. It holds a stack of sustainability credentials — OEKO-TEX Level 3, ZDHC MRSL 3.1 Level 3, Imprim'Vert across three production sites, and EcoVadis Silver Medal (top 25%) — which serve as a regulatory moat for entry into textile, apparel, and other brand-restricted supply chains. Customers span automotive (front panels, IMD, dials), packaging (labels, cosmetics, luxury), printed electronics, card manufacturing, technical glass, and visual communication, with technical support, color matching, and colorimetry services complementing the core ink offering.
