Since 2002, EGREM has a commercial director, a public relations department and a web site. Although the label had a history of international licensing deals, direct distribution of EGREM's music did not occur until August 2004, when several agreements were made between the label and European record companies. In 2005, the SGAE (Spanish copyright agency) began to distribute part of EGREM's catalog online. On September 15, 2015, Sony Music announced that it would distribute EGREM's recordings internationally.
