Campana has been since late 19th century and to a lesser degree today an important shipyard and port for passengers traveling to the remote Ibicuy Islands of the Paraná Delta.
Japanese automobile manufacturer Honda opened a factory in 2011, where it has built the Honda City and Honda HR-V.

Population origins
Welcome Centre at the Otamendi Natural Reserve, outside Campana.
Most of the city's population consists almost entirely by descendants of Italian and Spanish (mostly Galicians) immigrants, although there are other minorities such as Germans, British, French and Roms. In recent years there has been a slight increase in population from East Asia (China and South Korea) and Latin American countries like Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru.
