Trade Shows
The Spanish graphics industry is begin-
ning to recover from the economic crisis
and the far-reaching technology and
industry transformation that saw 40%
of companies in the sector close over a
period of just seven years. The decline
in printing business and falling trade
margins, the spread of digital communi-
cation and new consumer habits forced
the industry to look for alternatives, to
reinvent their business model and offer
graphic products and services that gener-
ate added value.
3
innovative
areas
In this context, Graphispag presented
new perspectives for the printing busi-
ness, showcasing the latest machinery,
technology, software, media and finishes
to create all kinds of printed products.
The show also included three areas
devoted to presenting the possibility of
printing practically anything, innovation
that comes in the form of special inks,
smart materials and 3D systems; and op-
portunities of reorienting or complement-
ing the activities of graphics companies.
Spain has 6,600
graphics companies
who employ nearly
68,000 people
