FESPA has announced that ASOINGRAF (Asociación de la Industria Gráfica Costarricense), Costa Rica’s national association for the graphic arts and printing sector, has joined as a FESPA Association Member. The decision was approved at the 2025 FESPA General Assembly, attended by ASOINGRAF President Marco Vinicio Vargas Chevez.
Founded in 1987, ASOINGRAF represents printing companies and professionals across Costa Rica. The association organizes Expográfica, the country’s premier trade show for the sector, and runs industry training programs, award ceremonies, and seminars. These initiatives focus on helping print businesses adopt sustainable practices and improve operational efficiency.
By joining FESPA, ASOINGRAF becomes part of the world’s largest network of national printing and graphics associations. This collaboration enables the sharing of technical expertise and market insights in Costa Rica and the wider Central American region. Additionally, it promotes international standards in process efficiency, colour management, production, and environmental performance—areas that align with FESPA’s global knowledge-sharing platforms.
Daniel Sunderland, FESPA President and Vice President of Canagraf in Mexico, said: “Welcoming ASOINGRAF strengthens FESPA’s presence in Central America. We look forward to supporting Costa Rica’s print community through ASOINGRAF’s events and initiatives. Together, we can drive innovation, share expertise, and strengthen our global network.”
As a FESPA member, ASOINGRAF will actively participate in FESPA events, working groups, and sustainability projects. Its insights will reflect the needs of print businesses in Costa Rica and Central America, benefiting the wider international FESPA community.
