ITMC was a French electronics company which existed during the 1980s and early 1990s. Very little is documented about the organisation, though they were quite prolific in the video game industry within France for many years, marketing many video game systems and similar electronics products. In many cases, ITMC distributed products under the Yeno brand, though switched between the two quite regularly for reasons not fully understood.

ITMC was one of the few distributors to make the short-lived Epoch Super Cassette Vision a success. It then moved on to distributing the SC-3000 (and the SC-3000H upgrade), chess computers, and several early LCD handhelds by Tiger Electronics, including some based on Sega licenses. ITMC was also a distributor of MSX computers.

ITMC was bought by another French electronics company, Lexibook in 1997.
