About MGI FRANCE

MGI FRANCE refers here to MGI Digital Technology, a French industrial group specialized in digital printing and high-value finishing technologies. Founded in 1982, the company built its business around a clear differentiation strategy: designing and manufacturing digital presses that combine printing with embellishment capabilities such as hot foil and selective UV varnish. This allows print professionals and converters to deliver premium products and stand out in competitive markets. The group serves commercial printing, publishing, packaging, adhesive labels, flexible packaging, photo printing, web-to-print, and subcontracting. From a historical perspective, MGI was created by Edmond Abergel, who led the business for more than four decades. In February 2025, Tony Charlet was appointed Chairman and CEO, while Edmond Abergel remained involved as Chief Operating Officer in charge of group strategy. This leadership transition highlights continuity rather than a strategic break, as the company continues to emphasize innovation, agility, and long-term industrial development. MGI also points to a major strategic milestone in its partnership with Konica Minolta, which helped accelerate its international expansion and strengthen its global footprint. MGI’s industrial base is centered in France, with its headquarters in Fresnes, near Paris-Orly, and production sites in Descartes and Limoges; the group also operates a site in Villingendorf, Germany. According to recent company communications, it employs nearly 300 people across five industrial sites in France and Germany. Export intensity is one of its defining features: MGI generates close to 90% of its revenue outside France, making it a highly internationalized niche manufacturer with limited dependence on its domestic market. The group has also pursued diversification to broaden its technological scope. In 2024, MGI acquired ALTIX, expanding into the promising field of printed electronics. ALTIX is described as a global leader in contact imaging systems and direct imaging technologies, while MGI Ceradrop, another group entity, focuses on professional inkjet equipment for printed electronics and smart 3D printing. This portfolio expansion increases MGI’s exposure to adjacent high-growth markets and reinforces its positioning as a multi-technology industrial platform. MGI’s product range includes AlphaJET, JETvarnish, JETvarnish 3D, and PressCard Pro, among others. The company markets these solutions as tools for differentiation, premium finishing, and added value for print applications. Over time, MGI has accumulated a strong reputation for innovation, supported by BPI France/OSEO labels and numerous international industrial awards. In financial terms, the group stands out as a French export-oriented technology manufacturer with a specialty positioning, a strong innovation culture, and a product mix focused on premium industrial printing applications.
