Groupe Marie Claire has placed a two-year contract with Polestar for the production of three French magazines:

• La Revue du Vin de France
• Votre Beauté
• Mariages.

All three titles will be produced at Polestar Chantry in Wakefield.

Benoit Carlier, Directeur de la fabrication et des achats de production at Groupe Marie Claire, said:

‘We are convinced that the manufacturing solution proposed by Polestar Chantry will be able to satisfy the stringent quality demands that our three magazines require.  This has been proven by the first issues produced at the site.’

James Povey, Marketing Director - UK Print at Polestar, said:

'These three titles fit perfectly into the high-quality profile of web offset magazines produced by Polestar Chantry and the team is really delighted to have won these prestigious brands. We have long wanted to grow our business in France with contractual magazines and are very thankful to Groupe Marie Claire for giving us this opportunity.'
