Imprimerie Henri Deschamps

🧭 Company Overview — Imprimerie Henri Deschamps (IHD)

Imprimerie Henri Deschamps is one of Haiti’s most established print houses and the industrial printing arm of Maison Henri Deschamps (Les Entreprises Deschamps-Frisch S.A.), a century-old education group founded in 1898. The group has long described IHD as the backbone of its integrated model—combining printing, publishing, distribution, and educational services—serving schools, businesses, and institutions nationwide.

Over the decades, IHD has distinguished itself by producing locally authored schoolbooks and reference works at scale while offering commercial offset and digital printing “de tous genres”—from invitations and calendars to posters and badges—for corporate and retail customers. This dual specialization (education + commercial print) sets IHD apart from many local shops that focus on either quick-turn digital or government work alone.

Today, IHD operates from its Jean-Gilles site in Port-au-Prince within the Maison Henri Deschamps campus, works closely with Éditions Henri Deschamps, and participates in the country’s cultural life via the Prix littéraire Henri Deschamps (through the Fondation Lucienne Deschamps). Leadership commentary and public reporting emphasize the company’s continuity (125+ years) despite challenging national conditions, underlining resilience, long-run investment, and a commitment to improving education quality.

🏆 Why It Stands Out

• Scale & integration: Printing plus publishing, distribution, and teacher support under one umbrella—uncommon in the Haitian market.

• Local curriculum focus: A long track record producing Haitian textbooks and learning materials. 

• Commercial breadth: Publicly promotes full-range offset/digital jobs for businesses and events.

• Cultural stewardship: Sponsor of the Henri Deschamps literary prize fostering French/Creole literature.
