LITOGRAFÍA UNIÓN, S.L.

What LITOGRAFÍA UNIÓN, S.L. does

Litografía Unión, S.L. is a privately held Spanish commercial printing and packaging converter headquartered in Terrassa, Barcelona, founded in 1982 and operating from a 2,000 m² facility with a 500 m² warehouse. The company designs and produces custom cardboard packaging, offset and digital print jobs, and point-of-sale (POS/PLV) displays for five specialized verticals: food, perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and hospitality/hotels. Service scope runs end-to-end from consulting and design through prepress (CTP), offset/digital printing on Komori machinery configured with 12 printing units, die-cutting, special finishes (stamping, embossing, lamination, UVI varnish), assembly, and delivery via an owned fleet. The company holds ISO 9001, FSC, and RSIPAC certifications that qualify it for regulated food-contact and pharmaceutical packaging work, and has introduced FlatSkin, a sustainable packaging format that reduces plastic usage by 75%.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven rather than subscription or volume-recurring. Revenue derives from one-time manufacturing engagements for custom packaging, print collateral (magazines, catalogs, brochures, vinyls, canvases, roll-ups), and bespoke POS displays, supplemented by technical and creative advisory services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; costs vary with materials, finishes, print volumes, and complexity. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales targeting enterprise buyers in the five verticals, primarily within Spain, supported by a sector-structured website in Spanish and English, case studies, direct phone/email consultation, and organic social media presence.

With a headcount of 8, the company operates as a focused micro-enterprise rather than a scaled converter. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not reported; distribution is domestic single-country via direct delivery from Terrassa. Strategic emphasis is on compliance-driven vertical specialization, sustainable materials (FSC-certified), and on-time delivery (self-reported at 84%), positioning the firm as a reference provider of packaging and graphic arts services within its regional market.

Regional players

• Ronda纸盒印刷 (Ronda Carton): European folding carton specialist serving cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food brands with high-end printing and finishing; comparable as a specialized European paperboard packaging printer targeting the same premium verticals, though with broader geographic reach.
• Cartonajes Miquelrius: Spanish manufacturer of stationery and packaging products with a long Iberian heritage; comparable as a Catalonia-rooted, family-scale printing and packaging company targeting consumer brands with custom paperboard solutions.
• Petit Gasquet: French independent folding carton and label printer serving cosmetics, perfumery, food, and wine verticals; comparable as a small/mid-sized European specialty converter focused on premium packaging for personal care and food brands, similar in scale and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Grupo Lantero: Spanish multinational packaging group operating across food, pharma, and cosmetics verticals with paperboard, plastic, and flexible packaging; comparable as a Spanish-headquartered multi-vertical packaging competitor, though significantly larger and geographically diversified.
• Mondi: European-headquartered global packaging and paper group with significant folding carton capacity serving FMCG, food, and personal care; comparable as a vertically integrated paperboard packaging competitor across the same verticals Litografía Unión targets.
• Smurfit Westrock: Global paper-based packaging leader with extensive folding carton operations serving consumer goods, food, and beauty/personal care; comparable as a paperboard folding carton competitor in the same end verticals, but at vastly larger scale and geographic breadth.
• Graphic Packaging International: Global folding carton and paperboard packaging supplier focused on food, beverage, and consumer products with sustainability-led product lines; comparable as a direct competitor in folding paperboard packaging for food and cosmetics, but at global scale.
• Mayr-Melnhof Karton: Austrian-headquartered European leader in folding cartons and recycled folding boxboard serving pharma, food, and consumer goods; comparable as a folding carton competitor targeting overlapping verticals with food and pharma end markets, but vertically integrated and much larger.
• Hinojosa Packaging Solutions: Spanish paper-based packaging converter with folding carton and corrugated capabilities serving food, beverage, and consumer goods; comparable as a domestic Spanish competitor in paperboard packaging, though larger and broader in scope than Litografía Unión's specialized niche.
