Export remains a central pillar of activity for the Alicante Chamber of Commerce, which for 25 years has organized the Exporters’ Catalogue bringing together the province’s leading companies engaged in foreign trade. The 2022 edition expands to include 1,125 companies, a notable increase over the previous year that highlights sustained momentum across the regional export ecosystem.
According to the Chamber, the catalog blends informative texts with economic reports, opinion pieces from key export sectors, and practical addresses and data for service providers, institutions, trade offices, and embassies operating abroad. The catalog is designed as a practical hub, helping readers understand the landscape of export activity and the players who drive it.
Company data in the export sector are refreshed on an annual cycle. All towns, factories, and industrial sites are reviewed to reflect the latest developments. Alicante’s industrial fabric is highly dynamic, and ongoing updates from the same reliable sources ensure the database accurately mirrors current conditions, supporting institutions, organizations, and entities active in export markets.
Published every year in four languages—Spanish, English, French, and German—the catalogue can be explored easily through three access points: an alphabetical listing, municipality-based views, and a product-centric division that groups firms by their tariff classifications. This multi-angled approach helps users locate relevant exporters quickly regardless of the search path they prefer.
To enhance yearbook usability, a dedicated web page hosts the online version where all exporting companies are listed and links to company websites are included where available. A printed edition remains available for companies that request it, ensuring broad accessibility across different workflows and preferences.
The current edition opens with a presentation by Carlos Baño, the Chamber’s Chairman, who outlines the services the organization has developed to support international growth and the ways advanced offerings were mobilized in response to the pandemic. His remarks frame how the Chamber positions itself as a facilitator of global reach for local businesses.
Baño emphasizes that in today’s competitive landscape it is essential to stay ahead to secure the success of all actions. The Chamber of Alicante commits to equipping provincial companies with the tools needed to showcase their full potential and to demonstrate their competitive and innovative capabilities to a global audience.
The Exporters’ Catalogue stands as one of the most effective instruments in the Chamber’s strategy to promote province-based firms abroad. It aligns with the Chamber’s mission of supporting exporters by delivering practical solutions to the challenges they face and addressing their evolving needs in international markets.
Historically, the Alicante Chamber—as Baño notes—has helped numerous firms access foreign markets. Several long-standing exporters began their journeys with the Chamber’s guidance and have repeatedly expressed appreciation for the public support. The organization remains committed to staying at the forefront, embracing reinvention, and recognizing opportunities even in tough times.
The 2022 edition documents a total of 1,125 exporting companies based in Alicante, a gain of ten compared with the previous year, offset by the addition of 45 new firms and the withdrawal of 35 others as part of normal market adjustments. The Exporters’ Catalogue is also available online and serves as a practical gateway for stakeholders seeking up-to-date export activity and partner directories. The annual resource continues to be a central tool in Alicante’s export promotion efforts, helping to connect local capacity with international demand and to illuminate the province’s competitive strengths for a global audience.
