Business Connect @3A Press

PRMSDC Business Connect made its way to Lajas!

On May 15, 2025, PRMSDC hosted its latest Business Connect event at the facilities of 3A Press in Lajas, with the goal of fostering genuine, trust-based connections between certified suppliers and business leaders across Puerto Rico.

3A Press, an innovative printing and packaging company, welcomed attendees with a dynamic afternoon of collaboration, networking, and inspiration. Their team shared their company story, led a tour of the facility, and highlighted how their commitment to excellence, sustainability, and service has positioned them as a key partner to manufacturers in the Life Sciences, Consumer Products, and Food & Beverage industries.

Participants from across the island engaged in active discussion, presented their elevator pitches, and exchanged ideas — reaffirming the value of strategic relationships among local businesses. The event captured the spirit of Business Connect: when entrepreneurs and suppliers come together, everyone grows.

PRMSDC thanks 3A Press for their generosity and hospitality, as well as every business owner who joined the event and contributed to making it a success.
