The fall in the rotogravure activity of the German Bertelsmann benefits the French Riccobono Imprimeurs.

Good news for the French industry. Prisma Media, one of the leading magazine publishers in France with 21 titles, is bringing the printing of four of its magazines back to France. Until now produced in Germany by bertelsmann Group to reduce its workforce , Femme Actuelle, Télé Grandes Chaines, Télé 2 Semaines and Leisure TV will now leave the production centers of the Riccobono Printers Group.

The publisher, which has been owned by Vivendi since 2021, justifies this decision by responding to "a CSR approach", and a "decrease in its carbon footprint". "Also, the distance from the German production sites made it difficult to control deadlines."

Riccobono Imprimeurs Group recovers the printing of 550,000 and 380,000 copies respectively of the weekly magazines Leisure TV and Femme Actuelle and 550,000 and 600,000 copies of the bi-monthly Télé 2 Weeks and Leisure TV .

The inner sections are printed in heliogravure at HeÌlio Print located in Mary-sur-Marne in Seine-et-Marne and at Lenglet Imprimeurs, in Raillencourt-Sainte - Olle in the North department, or in offset at Newsprint located in Lieusaint in Seine-et-Marne The covers of the four titles are printed at HeÌlio Print in offset.

Riccobono Imprimeurs has also been entrusted with the binding, which is carried out on the HP Brochage sites at Mary-sur-Marne in Seine-et-Marne and France Routage at Bussy-Saint-Georges, also in Seine-et-Marne, and with the mail delivery with France Routage and Proximy at Stains in Seine-Saint-Denis.

Recently, the group, which includes 13 printing plants, also won another contract. Since the beginning of the year, Riccobono Printers prints the daily newspapers World and The Echoes made so far on the Midi Libre website in the Hérault, representing 175,000 copies per week.
