The group serves enterprise B2B customers across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and perfumery, food and beverage, industrial and chemical, automotive and electronics, banking and insurance, and e-commerce. Named enterprise customers include Nivea (labels via Rever) and Quamtrax (award-winning label via Rever), plus unnamed pharmaceutical laboratories served by Pharma Prospect and NDE. The government printing mandate held by Imprenta Universal covers academic titles for 14 of Spain's autonomous communities, providing a regulated, recurring revenue anchor. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, FSC, SBTi-validated emission targets (EMAN: 46% Scope 1 and 2 reduction by 2030), EcoVadis Silver (Rever) and Bronze (NDE), and the QAIFEC quality certification for NDE.

The business model is quote-based custom B2B manufacturing with no public pricing, sold through subsidiary-level direct sales teams with group-wide strategic support, complemented by industry association leadership (José Ramón Benito is President of ASPACK), international trade show presence (Labelexpo, DRUPA, Paris Packaging Week), and a multilingual corporate website. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the group's primary revenue streams are packaging and product labeling, security documents and pharmaceutical prospectuses, and custom design services, with the 2026 launch of the Docu Salid healthcare sub-brand and Toshiba Auto ID partnership indicating incremental expansion into medical-device packaging and hardware-attached services.
