About the episode

In this episode of Signolia Podcast , we explore with ATP Group the ins and outs of the world of Large format digital printing . Accompanied by David Gómez and Javier Monter, we learn how this Valencian company has conquered the sector thanks to a solid production structure, its own transport and deliveries that border on the impossible: 24 hours from design to installation.

From mimetic urban facades to massive festivals, we take a look at how they organize their workflow to manage projects that demand maximum precision, speed, and reliability. In addition, we discussed the current challenges of the sector: lack of qualified personnel, turnover, absence of specific training and the importance of the human factor.
