History

The company's history dates back to 1900, when Canado Almazora sold horse-driven carriages under Carroceria de Almazora. In 1925, Perfecto Almazora, son of Canado, took over the company and evolved it into a manufacturer of passenger buses. The company is also responsible for making the Jardinera, a wooden made bus type with seven long benches in rows and two entry points. In 1968, Conrado handed the company to his son Cecilio.
