TOURAINE ROUTAGE

What TOURAINE ROUTAGE does

TOURAINE ROUTAGE is a family-owned French SME headquartered at 12 Avenue Thérèse Voisin in Tours, operating since 1987 as a specialist in mail processing and shipping. The company executes the full end-to-end workflow for business clients — file rental, digital color printing on Konica and Riso presses, laser and inkjet personalization, folding, cutting, envelope stuffing, film wrapping, postage, and postal deposit — across sectors including banking, insurance, large retail, healthcare, liberal professionals, artisans, printers, and communication agencies. Production is concentrated in a single Tours facility with ~15 employees and a fixed equipment base comprising Konica laser printers (up to 120 pages/min), a Riso inkjet system (150 pages/min), RITMICA and SITMA film wrappers, MBO folders, a POLAR cutter, and CMC and BELL+HOWELL mail inserters with inline inkjet addressing.

The business model is professional services revenue per quote-based project, sold through direct B2B engagement with a single point of contact per client. Complementary revenue streams include document digitization with OCR and secure digital vault hosting, email/SMS campaign preparation and sending, manual packing and kitting for non-mechanizable work, supplies (envelopes, films, boxes), mailing list rental, and postage services. The company pursues four consecutive years of Privacy Protection Pack certification from SNCD, PEFC-FSC paper certification, and RGPD compliance as credentials for regulated-vertical clients. A July 2023 investment added inline inkjet capability for thermoscellable paper, and the company has progressively extended into document dematerialization as an adjacent service line. Geographic scope is domestic France, with a concentration of activity in the Centre-Val de Loire region; there is no disclosed international footprint, M&A activity, or external investment.
