    Our history

    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 In later years, however, plaster superseded cane for this application, so that Catral had to react, and did.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.

    Catral Garden, today

    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.
