Iberital SA

Grant in 2014
Iberital SA is a manufacturer and supplier of espresso machines exporting to more than 50 countries. Everything starts in 1975 in a garage in Barcelona in which Blai Farré enjoyed his great hobby: the processing of metal and the mechanization of parts. His family ran a butcher shop, the family business, and in his spare time Blai concentrated on repairing pumps for coffee machines and other mechanisms such as the popular soda and soda vending machines. His hobby was quickly known by the merchants and restaurateurs so the orders for these were growing. Soon he gave up the family business and devoted himself to what he had always liked: the mechanization of pieces.
