During that time the company started to participate in the first fairs than took place in Spain. This event helped to get new costumers and also made popular "Raimundo’s" name in all Spain. In a few years the national market was not enough and they decided to try luck with the internacional market, with the advantage that they had met foreign costumers during several fairs. This new market requested higher quality instruments, what supposed an important challenge for the company.
It was in 1974 when they started to visit the most prestigious international fairs, Frankfurt, Paris and Los Ángeles, to get new costumers. After the first experiencies they decided to visit only the Frankfurt’s fair, because it was the most important one in the world. Since then, they have participated in every celebration of this fair, expanding continuously the products range and exposition metres.
In 1980 the company had a staff of twenty five workers and they made twelve thousand instruments a year. The company expantion, made years before in the old facilities, was not enough. They expected to grow in a short period of time and the company was moved to the present facilities in Polígono Fuente del Jarro (Paterna), which is one of the most important ones nowadays in Europe. They bought two adyacent plots with a total of 4.000 m, using 1500 m to make the instruments. The investment was fruitful because in a few years the company’s growth was spectacular. The exporting production percentage also grew considerably form the first presence years in Frankfurt. In 1981 the company obtained its first prize, the Export Reward delivered by the Trade Chamber, as a recognition to the effort.
It was in 1984 when Raimundo made his first exposition in Los Ángeles fair. In this period more than the 60% of the production was exported to German, France, Japan, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Austria... The exporting vocation has been present since they belong to this market. The staff and production increased due to several requests and new contacts in United States and South America. Once again, the facilities were not enough and they made an expantion of 400 m., converting the new building, specially, for concluded and packing sections.
It was in 1993 when the company obtained the Quality Reward delivered by IMPIVA. Perhaps it is the proudest prize for us because it recognized the effort made years before around this theme. In 1995 two new floors with a total surface of 800 m. were built because the staff was increased by second time. These floors were used to sandpaper and polishment sections.
A real constant work during thirty five years of experience has led the company growth and it has been the illusion to improve our work day a day. At present the company has fifty five workers who most of them work more than twenty five years for the same company. Nowadays, the annual production is twenty five thousand units aproximately, and the 85% from them are exported along the world.
Although this growth, the way we make our guitars has not changed during all this time. And this in not a casuality. We are proud to state that all our production continuous being totally a craftsman production and our work by hand continuous being present during the manufacturing instrument process too.
We like thinking that we have never made, exactly two equal instruments, every one is different to the last one. This is our main characteristic, although we have grown, we have not changed, and we continuous being craftsmen. To prove it we can mention the Trade Craftsman Prize and the Trade Chambe Prize obtained in 1991 and 1993 respectively. The craftsman’s love given to the woods is our main aim, so our guitars are different to others and thanks to this we are known around the world.
