Company Foundation:
“PUIG FAIRINGS”
In the garage of their house in Granollers, Spain, the brothers Josep and Jaume Puig founded the company “Carenados Puig” as a result of their motorcyle passion, only 100m2 that saw the birth of a dream, making motorcycle fairings.
The two founders were Derbi workers, and they materialized their dreams by turning their passion into their work.
On the left of the image we see Josep Puig, who is in charge of the commercial part of the company, and on the right Jaume Puig, responsible for the technical part and the design of the pieces.

NUMERICAL CONTROL INCORPORATION
First 5-Axis robot.
The manufacture of polyester fiber is a very traditional process that does not allow meeting the growing demand and it is decided to promote thermoforming and pressing. More industrial processes to be able to manufacture more standardized parts and meet demand.
The production of fairings in polyester fiber is abandoned, and focuses on the design and manufacture of screens in acrylic material.
