Germans Boada, S.A. is a company with history and tradition that has been constantly evolving ever since its founding in 1951. Although the years have passed and the company has undergone significant changes, it still maintains many of the same values and objectives that it had since last century. Its founders' innovative and creative spirit lives on, with even more momentum than ever, thanks to a committed team of staff who identify with its mission.

Today, Germans Bootle S.A. is a group with a global reach and international outlook that provides its products to professionals from all over the world. Its worldwide presence springs from the goal of discovering and responding to the needs of tiling professionals, which is where the company's real focus lies. The mission embarked upon by the founders was to stay in touch with users and provide matchless service, and as we continue to achieve this we are fortunate to benefit from the involvement and collaboration of the best distributors in the world, both large and small, who trust and promote the RUB! brand.

We would like to use this book to share the reality of our company with readers, a reality that reflects RUBI firm commitment to maintaining a solid presence in markets all over the world, strengthening our technological leadership, driving recognition and awareness of the RUBI brand and staying in close touch with end users.

Many thanks to the team, users and customers for making it all possible.

GROUP GERMANS BOADA. S.A

Since 1951 the RUBI Team has been working for and to dignify the construction trades. Therefore, in 2003, together with the start-up of the main production center of RUBI, our corporate museum Construction tools was inaugurated, also located in Santa Oliva (Tarragona). This original space shows from the evolution of the tools of the sector, to that of RUBES own manual cutter, in addition to making a historical tour of the more than 70 years of history of the Group. The space is open to professionals and students who, in an educational way, can see our historical collection of construction tools, including those of 101131, a private collection of tools from the Gaudi Foundation, the large showroom with the entire RUBI catalog and an area with the 5 phases of the tiling process. An experimentation area is also offered for students who visit us so that they can check first hand their skills in cutting and placing tiles using the mosaic technique.
