HORTICOLOR was founded in 1973.
Today, it is the French n° 1 in horticultural publishing, with turnover of more than 15.3 million Euros thanks to a collection of almost 100,000 images of plants.
HORTICOLOR has a team of more than 43 specialists in graphic arts, printing and horticulture. The company found a new dynamism in 1995 with the creation of Horticolor Canada, its subsidiary based in Montreal and responsible for the North American market (Canada/USA).
Since the arrival of digital design techniques, Horticolor has been equipped with state of the art computer equipment, image processing and layout software. This technology allows us easier access to our image database and enables us to propose increasingly attractive products with good time limits.
Our experience and excellent awareness of the climatic and industrial constraints to which our products are subjected have provided us with the technical know-how that is essential for printing horticultural packaging.
