The history of Iberital
It all started in 1975 in a garage in Barcelona, where Blai Farré used to enjoy doing his favourite hobbies: metalworking and parts machining.
His family ran a butcher’s shop, the family business, and in his spare time Blai focused on repairing coffee machine pumps and other mechanisms such as the popular soft drinks and soda vending machines.
His hobby became quickly noticed by businesses and restaurateurs, and they commissioned him for bigger and bigger projects. He soon gave up the family business and began doing what he loved full time: parts machining.
Although he initially only repaired machinery, he soon began manufacturing pieces for the coffee-machine manufacturers themselves. He manufactured his own moulds using casting processes and successfully sold his own parts and spare parts.
Now Iberital is an international brand operating in more than 100 countries. The company will be present at HostMilano 2025, October 17-21, 2025, and BCN Coffee Awards 2025 in Barcelona, Spain, November 7, 8, and 9, 2025.
