What Sérigraphie Albion Screen Printing Inc. does

Sérigraphie Albion Screen Printing Inc., operating as Albion SP, is a privately held large-format digital and screen printing company founded in 1976 and headquartered at 140 Adrien Robert Street in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. The company produces a broad catalog of visual communication products including indoor and outdoor banners, commercial signs, vehicle graphics and reflective striping, window and wall murals, decals, roll-up and media-wall display systems, nameplates, tags, parking permits, Lexan labels, and promotional merchandise (apparel, pens, magnets, gift sets, door hangers). Its production capabilities combine traditional screen printing with modern digital printing, including eco-friendly Latex Ink technology and 3M Envision non-PVC substrates, and notably extend to unconventional materials such as fine wood, rice paper, metal, and glass.

Albion serves businesses, public organizations, associations, and major events primarily in the National Capital Region of Ottawa-Gatineau, with named institutional clients including the National Capital Commission, City of Ottawa, Trinergie, Cubes In Space, and Slush Puppie. The business operates a direct-to-consumer Shopify e-commerce storefront at albionsp.com for standard catalog items, while custom projects (industrial decals, Lexan labels, vehicle wraps, large-format installations) are handled via consultation and quote-based engagement. The company is small — six employees — and led by owner Alain Deschamps, with sales led by Alain Valiquette. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, custom project quotes, and turnkey installation services, with worldwide shipping available for product-only orders. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding history.
