Goubault Imprimeur, which generates 4.5 million euros in revenue, is expanding. The printing company, located in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre in the Loire-Atlantique department, acquired ValPG on September 1. Founded in 1968, this offset and digital printing company, based in Saint-Aignan-Grandlieu in the Loire-Atlantique region, had been led by Yann Madec for thirty years. Madec is selling ValPG to Nicolas Rouger, Marine Ravanne, and Lina Rizk, who have been at the helm of Goubault Imprimeur since 2025.
"After 30 years of building ValPG, I wanted to ensure that the company and its teams would continue their journey with leaders who share the same values and the same commitment to quality." ", explains the former executive.
With this acquisition, Goubault gains 14 employees and nearly 350 clients. The company now has a total of 48 employees and nearly 800 clients, and is aiming for revenue of 7 million under a single brand, Goubault Imprimeur.
"The current industrial landscape calls for strengthening local players capable of investing and sustaining their operations over the long term: that is exactly the purpose of this initiative." ," explains Nicolas Rouger.
This merger will be accompanied by a reorganization of production. The equipment from ValPG and Goubault Imprimeur will be consolidated at the La Chapelle-sur-Erdre site. The equipment deemed to be the most efficient will be retained, and any duplicate equipment will be sold off.
The two printing companies operated in the same region but had different client portfolios. According to Goubault Imprimeur?90% of whose clients are in Loire-Atlantique?only a few of their major accounts overlapped. ValPG thus enables the printer to strengthen its position in the healthcare sector, complementing its existing business with manufacturers and local governments.
"We want to continue strengthening our operations while expanding into the new sectors that ValPG brings to us. Our goal is to build a strong regional player capable of investing, innovating, and maintaining high-quality production," says Nicolas Rouger.
