Union Typographique (Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, printer, fl. 1906–c. 1980s)

L'Union Typographique was an influential worker-owned printing cooperative (imprimerie coopérative ouvrière) founded in 1906 in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, a suburb south of Paris. Established by a group of dedicated trade unionists to promote socialist labour principles and economic autonomy, the enterprise grew into one of the most successful and long-lasting industrial cooperatives in France. Henri Édouard Leduc (1875–1955) was its administrator and managing director from 1906 to 1955.
