A little history…
Graphy Océane founded on 1 March 1982.
Initially, the company was a generalist silkscreen printer employing two people.
 1984
Graphy Océane was printing more
and more for the ready-to-wear market and decided, for reasons
of quality, to specialise in silkscreen printing on textiles.
Since then, its machinery has been carefully selected for
a specific purpose. The staff has been trained on the quality
standards of our prestigious customers. |
|
|
 1988
Graphy Océane built an industrial
facility at Thouaré-sur-Loire.
As its competencies became better known, Graphy Océane
acquired a new customer base, the workwear manufacturers,
an industrial sector with exacting standards in terms of wash
quality. |
|
|
 1995
To meet the challenges posed by offshore
manufacture, more and more common in ready-to-wear, the company
concentrated its expertise on promotional textiles.
The advantage for this new customer base lies in the benefits
derived from silkscreen printing which can meet requirements
in terms of quality, reactivity and rigour, essential in the
ready-to-wear market (collections and production), and of
durability and fade resistance in workwear. |

|
 1998
Creation of its Moroccan subsidiary Graphy-Oscéane-Maroc
in Casablanca.
The synergy between our three areas of activity, combined
with our presence internationally, is enabling us to compete
successfully in the silkscreen textiles market, with an exceptional
level of expertise. |
|
|
 2001
Extension of the facility at Thouaré-sur-Loire: 600
m2 added to the first building. The purchase of new machinery
and the expanded workforce has increased our production capacity
and enabled us to improve our reactivity further. |
|
|
 2002
Graphy Océane is celebrating 20 years in business.
The fiscal year that ended in August 2002 was marked by growth
of more than 40%, and our staff increased to reach an average
of 49 people.
In Morocco, we strengthened our production potential, expanded
our premises, and cemented our presence and our competitive
edge for large-volume productions. |

 2004

Our internal programmes were completed and we now have 4 machines

 2005
