First
postage stamp issued: 1856.
Stamp printing for this country
is primarily done by: TIEV (Mexico), ROMO
(Mexico)
Amate Mexico SA de CV,
Guadalajara.
First stamp(s) traced by compiler: [when?].
Replaced by ROMO as postage stamp
printers.
In 1990, Amate was invited,
with others, to tender for the production
of postage stamps. This was due to problems
at the official printer (TIEV) who could
not deliver commemoratives in desired small
quantities (e.g. 300k stamps). The long
make-ready time (two weeks) and lack of
climate controls for their 50-year-old Goebel
press is the reason.
They successfully tendered,
although by 1994 the contract had passed
to ROMO.

In 1994, Romo was formally
invited to produce commemorative stamps
for the Mexican Post Office. They replaced
Amate Mexico as stamp printers to the Mexican
Post Office and at the close of the twentieth
century were the only authorised private
stamp printers in Mexico.
The extent of their printing
operations means that they can boast to
have some of the top companies in Mexico
as their customers. These include leading
banks and retail organisations, as they
are not restricted to solely printing postage
and revenue stamps.
