FESPA (Federation of European Screen Printing Associations) named Mexican graphic-arts trade association Canagraf (La Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Artes Gráficas) as its national association for Mexico at the FESPA General Assembly, held in Madrid, September 4, 2015. Canagraf provided direct support to FESPA in delivering Print Mexico Congress, which occurred in Mexico City in April 2015. The Congress attracted 50 delegates, who participated in various seminars on business and technical topics. At FESPA Mexico 2015, held August 20-22, Canagraf hosted a VIP lounge for visiting members and presented seminars within the conference theatre on the show floor.
Canagraf is a previous constituent association of Conlatingraf, the Latin American federation for the printing industry. As a FESPA association, Canagraf will offer its members training programs, legal advice, guidance on government regulations, and access to industry networking events, as well as represent the interests of printer members with relevant governmental bodies in Mexico. Canagraf will have full voting rights in future Assemblies. Canagraf has absorbed the member base of the national association that has represented FESPA in Mexico since 2009.
Founded in 1962, FESPA is a global federation of 37 member associations for the screen-, digital- and textile-printing community.
