< A bit of hystory

The founder of the firm was Francesc Abad Pla. He worked for several firms in Barcelona, some of them already disappeared (Bourdon Española, Martin Marten, Faust y Kamman, Moser y Rosell, Valls Isard, ...) before establishing on his own, first as Coronado-Abad, S.A. and finally as Abad Controls, S.L., on Igualada Street, in the Gràcia district.

Together with Francesc worked his sons Xavier, Jordi and his daughter Esther. After Francesc passed away in 1994, their sons took over. In 2001 Esther leaves the company.

In 2008 we moved to our present facilities in Bon Pastor district in Barcelona.
