The president of Foment del Treball, Josep Sánchez Llibre, and the representative and member of the executive board of El Gremi de la Indústria i la Comunicació Gràfica de Catalunya, Josep Bonifacio, sign the agreement under which El Gremi becomes part of the employer’s organization as an associated entity. Both highlight the role of the Catalan graphic industry, which has a turnover of more than 5,000 million euros and employs about 30,000 people.
According to data presented by the Industry Observatory (2017-2018), the specific weight of the Catalan sector on the Spanish graphic industry runs into 30% of the turnover and 37% of exports. The report on the Catalan industry, which extracts information from sources such as INE and IDESCAT, also outlines the increase in Catalan occupation in recent years.
