Tracing your corporate roots

But for Spanish paper mill J. Vilaseca, 2014 marks its tercentenary – its 300^th birthday.

This milestone has come about as it can trace its roots back to 1714 and the establishment of Cal Mata.

That’s a long history, and one that has traversed a number of important developments in the label and package printing markets, including Vilaseca’s own evolution since the mid-20^th Century into a company offering a range of fiber-based materials for different applications, such as wine labels.

I’m sure there are many other companies out there with a long and established corporate history, and while they don’t have to be as long as that of Vilaseca, it is always good to hear about a company’s roots all the way up to its modern day iteration.

That’s why I’m looking forward to visiting one or two companies this year that I know are celebrating their birthdays in 2014.

If you’ve got a big anniversary to celebrate this year, or next, keep us posted at [email protected] and I look forward to celebrating with you.
