J.P. Morgan Asset Management becomes a shareholder of Catral Garden.
Hello! We are Catral Garden, a company that started in 1928 as a family business manufacturing and selling brooms made of native raw materials such as palms and giant canes. Thousands of brooms left the Catral factory each year bound for all over Spain as well as Portugal and France.
It was in the 1970s when Catral started selling canework for the suspended ceilings common in buildings in those days. In later years, however, plaster superseded cane for this application, so that Catral had to react, and did. So it was that Catral started using canes to make fences instead of ceilings, and in the 1980s the company became a major exporter of split canework for fences and other garden products.
Now, and approaching its first century, Catral Garden supplies garden materials to 80% of Europe’s largest DIY companies. Adapting continually to change and adversity, we at Catral continue to grow and evolve, with pride in our work and our construction.
As we mentioned in our History, we are pioneers in the production of screening and enclosures for the garden.
Our commitment to in-house manufacturing at our plant in Alicante is a premise Catral has upheld right from the outset, manufacturing PVC canework in the early days, and continuing today to make products like artificial hedges, LOP® willow or decorative trellises entirely in-house.
We now find ourselves in a new phase, renewed, professionalised and with a future vision. Catral’s logistical capacity is one of our main assets: we possess a punctual and efficient logistical service with a portfolio of over 2000 references.
In short, we are experts in the gardening market and in the needs of small and large distributors, as well as consumers, and we strive each day to keep this up and give of our best.
Our mission is to make life easier and more comfortable for our end customers, by motivating people to create more pleasant environments, offering innovative and eco-responsible DIY and Gardening solutions manufactured in-house and commercialised, focussing ever more strongly on a responsible and sustainable supply chain offering a high level of service.
Our vision is to be an international leader in the world of DIY and Gardening, adapted to what the market wants and with our own identity, capable of meeting the most demanding tastes while we create value for our shareholders, to become strategic partners in our channel, the most active collaborator of our providers, and the preferred home of our employees for their personal and professional development.
Our values are the lodestar for everything we do. Starting with the people making the company Catral what it is, thanks to our commitment, involvement, resilience and culture of hard work.
Continuing with responsibility, sustainability, honesty, ethics and humanity towards society and the environment in all our processes, keeping our commitments and eliciting trust among our workers, clients, collaborators and providers.
