INNOVATIVE - COMMITTED - RESPONSIBLE

Messrs. Bassouls and Delmotte still run the company today and are convinced that a focus on innovation, commitment, responsibility and monitoring of the markets are essential.

The same convictions are more present than ever before and have enabled the Group to anticipate and succeed the digital transition.

HARDWARE AND STREET FURNITURE

Prismaflex conceptualises, designs, manufactures and installs a wide range of hardware and street furniture solutions.  Our complete design and production process is our competitive advantage and having a global vision and full control of all areas of production means the consistency and quality of our products is assured, putting the Group in a strong position to satisfy client requirements by:

• Creating specific and innovative designs and structures
• Manufacturing complete product lines: tri-visions, scrolling, bus shelters, display columns, city lights, billboards, structures…

WIDE FORMAT PRINTING

Today, with 3 printing plants in Europe and 5 worldwide, Prismaflex’s impressive printing capacity means the Group can meet demands for large and extra-large formats, and also small, medium and large print runs. Finishing and machining operations (cutting, grommet setting, sewing, welding, folding, packaging, etc.) are also part of our expertise and the rationalisation of our production resources is yet another of our competitive advantages.

Prismaflex is one of only a few companies in the sector to have its own Research and Development department enabling it to satisfy client requirements, in terms of both the substrates and posting solutions.

PRISMAFLEX IS:

• 6 million m²/printed per year worldwide
• Printing capacity of 6,500 m² per day in France
• 5 printing plants around the world
• 52+ wide format digital printers for the Group

LED & DIGITAL BILLBOARDS, DISPLAYS AND SCREENS

Prismaflex is one of the few companies to own its own LED production lines for LED modules (Shenzhen, China for SMD modules; Boulder, USA for THD modules) and as a result Prismaflex has rapidly made a name for itself on the OOH advertising market becoming among one of the world's best LED providers.

We design, manufacture and integrate LED screens into our innovative displays, making Prismaflex a preferred partner for professionals of the advertising world and the mass retail sector. We also provide high-end and creative technical advice and support for all new digital projects.
