MACHGLOBAL & SMAGX: A NEW CHAPTER FOR STÉPHANE RATEAU, A STRENGTHENED VISION

After more than 30 years leading SMAG (SRAMAG SAS) and its integration within the X&llence group, I am turning a new page.
This new stage is not an end, but an evolution: remaining true to my history while reinventing myself through the creation of MachGlobal.

My choice is clear: to refocus on what I do best – business development – and to build bridges between global innovation and the concrete needs of francophone printers.

Continuity with SMAGX, vision with MachGlobal

I remain alongside Alexandre Burgot-Dervin as historical ambassador and Global Sales Director of SMAGX. It is an honor and a source of pride to continue this shared journey, supporting the transformation of SMAG under the X&llence banner.

At the same time, I dedicate my energy to MachGlobal, a different kind of distribution company, designed to:

• deliver tailor-made consulting,
• select and market innovative and competitive solutions,
• create lasting value for printers and converters.

A unique synergy: MachGlobal + SMAGX

The strength of this project lies in complementarity:

• MachGlobal: the distribution and business development partner, market- and innovation-driven.
• SMAGX: the manufacturer, engineering and service provider, ensuring installation, integration and technical support.

Two entities, one ambition: to offer clients a complete value chain, from consulting to after-sales.

A clear mission: transform to last

MachGlobal is not just a distributor. It is a vision:

• Optimize production,
• Intelligently automate processes,
• Sustainably reduce costs,
• And above all, provide printers with a decisive competitive edge.

Our ambition is simple: to support label manufacturers in their transformation, by giving them direct access to cutting-edge solutions and local support.

An invitation to write the future together

With MachGlobal, I want to create new momentum:

• A trusted partner, not just a supplier,
• A competitiveness accelerator, not just a distributor,
• A long-term vision, not just a commercial transaction.

We don’t just sell machines: we build solutions that will make the difference tomorrow.

👉 Stay tuned to discover the first distribution agreements and our strategic partners. For all those who share this vision: the future begins today, and we will write it together.
