Together SINCE 1952
FAE celebrates 70 years
In 1952 Francisco Albero and Rosa Llovensa, my grandparents, had a mechanical workshop in Barcelona. As most workshops were dedicated to replacing damaged components but over time, they realized that they could repair the parts they replaced, leave them as new and sell them to the aftermarket.
They had a small cubicle in the back of the workshop where they could fix the pieces between clients. The demand was growing until a time came when they decided to start manufacturing their own pieces. The drawing room was his living room and the factory was his back room. Soon they closed the workshop to be able to dedicate all their efforts to serving the new business. He would design, manufacture and go out to sell the pieces in a van while she would take the numbers of the company and receive the clients. But the most important thing was missing, the name. In this way a small company called FAE was founded.
