Since early November, the Cloître printing company?s signage and large-format printing workshop has been located at the historic printing plant in Saint-Thonan, in Finistère. The nine employees of this division, which was previously located in Saint-Évarzec?an hour away?now have a 950 m² workshop at their disposal. 2 , and are surrounded by the other production teams.
This consolidation is a response to the workshop?s growth following a 12% increase in the 2025?2026 fiscal year. It now accounts for 10% of Cloître?s revenue, which totaled 17.9 million euros in 2025.
Cloître, which has 95 employees, added large-format printing to its operations in 2017 with the acquisition of Primset in Saint-Évarzec. "In 2017, we decided to keep production in Quimper to maintain Primset's presence in southern Finistère, says Christophe Dudit, president of Cloître. "Nine years later, the signage and large-format printing business has become a full-fledged part of the company, thanks to a team that has successfully grown it. Welcoming it to Saint-Thonan today means giving it the resources to go even further."
The workshop produces interior and exterior signage, signs, point-of-sale displays, booths, and vehicle wraps.
Among its projects are the signage for the Brest public transportation network, Bibus; the signage marking Volotea?s arrival at Brest Airport; and the interior signage for the new Brets potato chip factory.
The move to Saint-Thonan now makes it possible to consolidate this operation with the printer?s other facilities, which also produce offset and digital prints as well as labels. This latter operation was expanded with the acquisition of P'tit Imprimeur in 2022.
Cloître will maintain its business presence in southern Finistère, where customers will continue to be served by the same representative, Carine Thépaut.
