It was in 1968 when Manuel Raimundo decided to try his fortune setting up his own guitar construction company. He counted only on his own experience and a small workshop that belonged to a relative. His first employees and his first representative, Salvador Cortina, arrived a few months after setting up his company and thanks to Salvador, he got his first important clients.

In 1980 he now counted on a staff of 25 people and an approximate production of 12.000 instruments a year. The extension work he had carried out a few years earlier to the old workshop was no longer sufficient. The short term expectations were to continue growing and he took the opportunity to move the company to their current installations on Fuente del Jarro industrial state (Paterna), which were specially made for the construction of guitars. The investment paid off. In a few years the growth was spectacular. The percentage of the production that he exported also grew in a considerable manner since the early years of his presence in Frankfurt and as recognition for this effort in 1981.
