Historical perspective

The first clients were local farmers using the wire to bale their harvests of cereals and crops. Sales grew quickly crossing the county limits to expand throughout Catalonia and later on, nationwide. Opting for a bigger factory turned out to be necessary, and Sant Guim de Freixenet was the chosen location.
Industrialization of the country favoured the company’s expansion and product diversification: in addition to the annealed wire, Gabarro began to manufacture bright wire to meet the demand of new industries. In the early 80’s, Gabarro kick-started its international development and began to consolidate its leading edge in European markets from the 90’s onwards.
