Founded in 2007, the Sprint Group employs over 500 people across several locations in France. Sprint positions itself as the go-to printed communication service provider for France’s largest corporations and the leading consolidator in the French printing market.
Founded in 1925 and formerly owned by Inforsud, the Chabrillac group employs 37 people in Toulouse and Paris. It specializes in large format indoor and outdoor displays and is a member of the Imprim’Lux network.
