Javier Cendoya, general manager, expressed his gratitude, celebrating that “we are capable of anything we set our minds to; we just have to give our best to be the best”. In the words of Alejandro Cebrián, general manager in Spain, “our future is written in the ink of boldness and passion”.

Brother Abel Muñoz, provincial of Ibérica and president of the board of directors of the Edelvives Group, recalled the beginnings of the publishing house in 1889: “This is where the real seed of the publishing house was born: a problem, a solution. And so we continue 135 years later, listening to what society is asking for in order to be proactive in our responses”.
