1958 The Beginning

In 1958, with a share capital of 20,000 pesetas (120 €), four friends, surnamed González, Varela, Ruiz and Riberas, decide to establish a company devoted to buying and selling iron and steel products, and selling tin and piano strings.

The name of the new company is formed using the first letters of their surnames: Gon-Va-R-Ri.
