Since 2021, the Riccobono group of printing companies has developed in various sectors that are complementary to newspaper production. In order to show this new versatility, Riccobono Printers changes its identity and becomes the Riccobono Group.
The family-owned group, founded in 1900, has a long history of printing the national daily press. Newspaper printing now accounts for 35% of its revenues, which amount to 250 million euros. With its 2,800 employees, it has developed three other activities: the printing of magazines, catalogs and advertising flyers, which also accounts for 35% of sales, and since 2021, distribution and delivery, with Proximy which delivers 180,000 subscribers per day and 4,400 points of sale (20%) and binding and binding with France Routage (10 %).
To highlight all of its activities, the group chaired by Guillaume Riccobono - the fifth generation of the founder - has worked on a new logo and name, which retains the blue circle, but does away with the word "printer".
This new identity must also ensure visual consistency for its 12 printing plants, three binding centers and seven mailing sites, while being easily recognizable internationally.
"This new identity is also reflected in the signature of a mission marking the commitment that the group wishes to defend and respect: 'Enabling transmission to the greatest number'" adds newly named Riccobono Group.
Since he took the reins in 2017, Guillaume Riccobono has doubled the group's revenue, notably through the acquisitions of Procximy and France Routage. These routing, binding and distribution activities are in perfect synergy with its core business. For the CEO, "consolidation at the regional, national and international level is not enough. It must be accompanied by targeted diversification and constant listening to the needs of the ecosystem." In other words, the Riccobono Group intends to continue consolidating these four divisions, without going on the offensive in the market.
