However, I&#8217;ve always had a strong interest in design, which led me to take a screen printing course around 1980. That was the beginning of my first workshop, where I printed t-shirts, stickers&#8230; Little by little, clients started asking for more traditional graphic products\u2014envelopes, business cards, invoices\u2014and I realized that my future would also be closely tied to printing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the history and evolution of Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s? What was its founding goal? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s was born in 1983, after some frustrating experiences with suppliers who couldn\u2019t deliver the business cards, envelopes, etc. that my clients asked for. So I decided to partner with someone and open our own print shop. We started in my mother\u2019s sewing workshop, an 80-square-meter space, and from there we grew: first to a 700-square-meter warehouse in Cambados (Galicia, Spain), then to a 2,000-square-meter facility in Vilari\u00f1o, and finally to our current plant, on a 7,200-square-meter plot, always within the municipality of Cambados.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, our goal was to differentiate ourselves by offering something beyond what small print shops in the area were doing. We introduced offset printing in the region, focused on quality, innovation, and above all, customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you define your role at Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s? How has it evolved within the company? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never liked talking about myself\u2014I\u2019ve always preferred that people talk about Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s. But if I had to say something, I\u2019d say I\u2019ve always been passionate about business. I come from a family of small self-employed entrepreneurs and know firsthand the struggles and joys of starting something. My role has been to drive, create, and above all, keep the excitement of doing things well alive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What milestones would you highlight in the history of Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s? What\u2019s your next goal? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two key moments were in the year 2000, when we focused on the wine sector with adhesive labels on reels, and in 2004, when we founded Saln\u00e9s Pack to tackle packaging challenges in a more industrialized way. In 2018, we presented a sales pitch to a Galician family office, which believed in our project and acquired 100% of the company in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with integration into Grupo Lantero, the goal is to ensure the project\u2019s continuity with a solid, professional structure and a forward-looking vision. I\u2019m convinced it was the right decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you evaluate these first few months within Grupo Lantero?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Expectations for this year are very positive, and everything indicates we\u2019ll close out the year very successfully. The team is excited, and although there\u2019s always uncertainty during changes, they see the potential of this new phase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think Gr\u00e1ficas Saln\u00e9s can contribute to Grupo Lantero?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are a highly flexible company, with great responsiveness to customer needs. Plus, we manufacture many products that weren\u2019t previously in Grupo Lantero\u2019s portfolio. I think we can bring significant value\u2014especially to the sales departments and the premium segment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most relevant project you&#8217;re working on with Grupo Lantero?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re working on some beautiful projects, though many of them are under pseudonyms at the explicit request of the clients. It was something that surprised me at first, but now we understand and respect it. Some of these projects are tied to well-known brands, but due to confidentiality, we can\u2019t reveal details. What I can say is\u2014we\u2019re very excited about what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n<p>We want to hear from you.
