IMA Protect, partner of the Ducs d’Angers for the 2026–2027 season

Based in Nantes and with a presence in Beaucouzé, IMA Protect, a subsidiary of the IMA Group specialising in remote surveillance, is to become a partner of the Ducs d’Angers ice hockey club for the 2026–2027 season. This partnership will see the brand’s logo featured on the backs of the players’ jerseys and on the ice at Angers ICEPARC.

A partnership for the 2026–2027 season: the IMA Protect logo on the back of the shirts and a presence on the ice during the Ducs d’Angers’ home matches.
A confirmed regional presence: based in Beaucouzé with around 50 employees, IMA Protect is continuing its community-focused strategy, which it has already embarked upon with HBC Nantes.

Whilst our operations are now nationwide, Beaucouzé, near Angers, remains one of IMA Protect’s historic sites, home to our second remote monitoring centre. By partnering with the Ducs d’Angers, we are helping to boost the vitality of this region, which holds a special place in our history.

Jean-Pierre Deleplanque

Deputy Director of IMA Protect

We are particularly proud to welcome IMA Protect as one of the Ducs d’Angers’ partners. Its long-standing presence in the Angers region, its recognised expertise and the values of community involvement and commitment upheld by its teams are fully in line with those of our club. This partnership brings together two ambitious organisations, deeply rooted in their local communities and driven by a shared determination to make sustained progress towards excellence. We are delighted to embark on this journey together with the staff at IMA Protect and all our supporters.

A strong regional presence

Based in Nantes, where 350 staff are employed, and with a site in Beaucouzé employing around 50 staff, IMA Protect has chosen to partner with a club that brings together and unites the people of Angers. In this way, the company aims to highlight its commitment to the local community. This commitment to the local area is nothing new: since last year, IMA Protect has been a partner of HBC Nantes, where the company’s head office is located.

This partnership with the Ducs d’Angers also enables IMA Protect to highlight what sets it apart: a company on a human scale, firmly rooted in its local area, which prides itself on offering a 100 per cent French service

A shared ambition

IMA Protect and the Ducs d’Angers share a common ambition: to establish themselves as leaders in their respective fields. On the one hand, IMA Protect is the fourth-largest player in the remote surveillance sector in France. On the other, the Ducs d’Angers are among the top four French ice hockey teams, aiming to win their first French championship title in the Ligue Magnus. This partnership is driven by a shared spirit of challenge: that of two organisations constantly striving to reach the very top.

A sense of pride shared within the organisation

This partnership goes beyond simply displaying the IMA Protect logo on the back of the jerseys and on the ice during home matches. Throughout the 2026–2027 season, IMA Protect staff will be offered tickets to watch the Ducs d’Angers play.
