Our story
The result of a concerted effort by the entire graphic arts industry, the Institut began its activities in a brand-new building in May 1996. Its objectives: to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving industry in a globalizing economy.
It was a considerable challenge, and to take it up, the ICI looked to recruit experienced men and women with a vision for the future. Driven by a desire to take action, to go further and provide companies with better resources, they have developed tailored services for everyone along the graphic production line.
A not-for-profit organization, the ICI has been equipped by the industry with cutting-edge equipment. It is quite exceptional for an establishment as the ICI to be able to offer such a high level of equipment dedicated entirely to scientific and training purposes, and it brings undeniable added value to all the services that the Institute provides.
Training, information, tests, trials, research, analysis and competitive intelligence… everything is in place to support technological development and growth for all. With the creation of the ICGQ, the graphic arts sector has acquired an organization that can think outside the constraints of production and act to meet its needs.
