USPII : Union des Syndicats Professionnels de l’Image et de l’Information - Union of Professional Image and Information Associations

Founded in 2005, USPII’s members include the leading companies in the Image and Information sector and represents sales estimated at over five billion euros spread across three areas of activity : equipment, consumables and services, which are represented respectively by its three component parts, SIPEC, SNSII and CFP.
USPII intervenes to defend the economic and social interests of its members.

This union encourages cohesion between members of the image and information sector and provides them with the means to pursue their actions: gathering statistical data, publishing sector-based indicators lobbying ministries, providing information to the public, communication and organising professional events.
