FESPA has announced that ASOINGRAF (Asociación de la Industria Gráfica Costarricense), Costa Rica’s national association for the graphic arts and printing industry, has joined as a new Association Member. The decision was approved at the 2025 FESPA General Assembly, which was attended by Marco Vinicio Vargas Chevez, President of ASOINGRAF. Founded in 1987, ASOINGRAF represents companies and professionals in the graphic arts and printing industry in Costa Rica. The Association organises the Expográfica, the country’s leading trade show for the sector, as well as delivering industry training programmes, awards ceremonies and seminars that emphasise how print and graphic arts businesses can implement sustainable practices.
By becoming a FESPA Association Member, ASOINGRAF joins the largest global network of national printing and graphics associations. This partnership will support the sharing of technical and market knowledge in Costa Rica and the Central America region. It will also promote the use of recognised international standards in areas such as process efficiency, colour and production management, and environmental performance, which align closely with FESPA’s knowledge-sharing platforms. ASOINGRAF will now participate in FESPA events, working groups and sustainability projects. Its input will reflect the needs and experiences of print businesses in Costa Rica, as well as the Central American region, which will benefit the wider international FESPA community.
