ESCOFET is not only Industry and Product. It is also Design,

Architecture and Urban Landscape.

From the outset more than 125 years ago, ESCOFET has understood the importance of qua-

lity as the core of its business activity. The relevance of value added qualities and

differentiation to its products and services, its congruent application of the design

concept and its pioneering strategy of synergies between design, architecture and in-

dustry are the features that have allowed Escofet to remain at the forefront over the

years.

This focus has led Escofet to place its know-how and craftsmanship at the service of

professionals to mediate between the project and the manufacture of each design and

each specific product.

Our constant search and adaptation to the user’s needs is accompanied by proactive

participation in the culture of each historical moment, along with innovation in ma-

terials and, above all, design. A proactive attitude of collaboration and search for

synergies with and amongst all those who design the City is what has allowed Escofet

to keep going and progress on a journey of uniqueness and quality from its beginnings

to the present day.

For ESCOFET, Barcelona has been the source and the privileged centre of debate about

the construction of the modern city; about the role of research and the confirmation of

the functional quality, technical and design aesthetics of our products- our working

method. This methodology has allowed us to consolidate our Brand and our products in

both the national market and in more than 40 countries around the world. Our quality

is borne out in the work we have done in the course of more than 125 years of history,

and the numerous awards that our company and its products have received.

Building a Company, Building a City, Building a Future for the greater good has been

and remains the motivation for the work of Escofet.

For all of these reasons, we wish to thank all those who, in more than 125 years of

History, have made this solid business venture possible, the five family generations

who have developed and maintained the business plan, our shareholders, our directors,

every person who has worked or is working now with our company, and all those colla-

borators who have been and remain our points of reference in their different types of

participation in the construction of the city.

ESCOFET was founded in 1886 to manufacture hydraulic tiles at the height of modernism. Architects like Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner designed models for ESCOFET which quickly became a symbol of the best architecture of the time for its beauty, functionality and innovation.

Two core aspects marked the company’s development and became icons of its identity: concrete, a base material in constant evolution, and Barcelona, birthplace and showcase of our work and our know-how. Both aspects have been instrumental in the success of ESCOFET over the years, facilita-ting the growth of our business and our expansion around the world.

The close relationship between ESCOFET and Barcelona’s public spaces began in the early 20th cen-tury and was consolidated over the years in step with the city’s great events: the Universal Expo-sition of 1888, the International Exposition of 1929, the paving for Las Ramblas, the Olympic Games and the pavement of Paseo de Gracia with an updated model of Gaudí’s paving tile, the production of columns, capitals, arches and windows for the Sagrada Familia, and now the new pavement for the Diagonal Avenue. More than 125 years of history have consolidated ESCOFET as a one hundred percent Barcelona company, not only by birth and location, but above all through its participation in the development and growth of the city.

OUR HISTORYMore than 125 years leave a mark

2001 … Design and Escofet: an inexhaustible convergence.ESCOFET’s involvement in the world of design and landscaping is rewarded with the Adi-FAD Golded Delta Prize for Lungomare, by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue.

2011 … Slimconcrete - UHPC Escofet. Slimconcrete. A new technology for concrete enclosu-res, walls, lattices... and street furniture, incor-porating state-of-the-art concepts such as thinness, strength, durability and sustainability in a new vocabulary for the construction and definition of urban spaces.

2014 … DAE Collection. Escofet adopts the DAE collection as a new asset to complete its range of products for public spaces, landscaping and architecture projects, with a special emphasis on street furniture and lighting.

1992 … National Design Prize acknowledges ESCOFET’s long history. The company’s participation in major architectural projects is consolidated with work on the Barcelona 92 Olympic Games and street furniture for the renovated zones of the city.

1979 … First street furniture.ESCOFET begins its famous line of street furniture with the MODULAR bench, designed by Ramón Benedito and Josep Lluscà, inspired by the shape of the perimeter benches around the square in Gaudí’s Güell Park.

1970 … First architectural concrete.From horizontal to vertical: reinforced concrete facades bring our company into the realm of prefab walls.

1950-70 … “Vibrazo”, ESCOFET’s industrialization and patents change the face of cities.Two-layer vibrocompressed concrete pavements are brought to Spain by ESCOFET as an ideal paving solu-tion for indoor and public spaces. The central Las Ramblas paving design by Adolfo Florensa in 1968 res-tates the company’s presence in the city.

1906 … “Panot”, industrialization of urban pavement.ESCOFET wins a City Council tender for Barcelona’s pedestrian pavements. Our production of ‘Panots’ marks the start of a close relationship between our company and the public spaces of Barcelona.

1886 … Company founded to produce mosaic tiles. The Modernist mosaic tiles manufactured by ESCOFET in collaboration with leading architects such as Josep Pasco, Alexandre de Riquer, Josep Puig i Cadafalch and Lluís Domènech i Montaner are best exemplified in the Hexagonal Tile by Antoni Gaudí. 90 years later, an adaptation of the same model was used to pave Barcelona’s Paseo de Gracia.

OUR DNA The heart of ESCOFET

Pioneers

Passion for InnovationESCOFET is a market leader thanks to its long experience, its audacity and its future vision. Our company is an interface between high-tech industry and contemporary architecture.

Our pioneering strategy of anticipating demand in interaction with our designers, our leadership in research into materials, particularly concrete, our creation of a universal vocabu-lary of urban elements and our accurate logistics are the key points of ESCOFET’s growth and international expansion.

Singularity

Passion for DesignESCOFET embodies a different, open working method, based on multidisciplinary exchanges with teams of consultant archi-tects, designers and artists who work with our own architects and engineers to reinterpret each process, each material, over and over again until we arrive at results that permit the crea-tion and dissemination of new solutions.

Tailor-made technology

Passion for QualityESCOFET’s long experience in the development of street furni-ture, paving and wall cladding in collaboration with leading architects and designers allows us to guarantee comprehensive support as a specialist consultant for complex projects and the provision of tailor-made solutions.

ESCOFET offers maximum flexibility to suit each project. We work with many materials (various types of concrete, alumi-nium, steel, wood, glass...). We research and innovate to ensu-re the best technology and highest quality finishes, textures and colours. These solutions are applied to our products, from simple manufactured items such as steps, curbs and copings to unique high added value elements.

CREATIVE PROCESSFrom project to design

ESCOFET’s experienced team of technicians works with the designer from the concept to the technical production stage, situated as an interface between architect, project and product. This encounter provides an optimum competitive edge to manage projects and standardize uni-que items into products for widespread use, regardless of their complexity.

ESCOFET captures and adds the talents of its creators to the company’s production and publis-hing activities.

ESCOFET’s engineering department resolves each phase of the design process, transferring its know-how in the successive development stages up to the modelling of a new product.

ESCOFET tests its products in various stages of development in close collaboration with the designers.

ESCOFET applies different technologies to manu-facture its models and moulds, taking into ac-count the different shape of each design and the optimization of its future manufacture.

FINISHES The finish on the product’s outer surface, the natu-ral expression of the mould, is acid-etched or polis-hed, depending on the technical and aesthetic requi-rements. Acid etching results in a similar finish to natural sandstone. The combination of aggregates of different sizes and colours, and the different textu-res of the acid etching process permit a wide variety of finishes.

13

CraftsmanshipPRODUCTION AND FINISHES Water, aggregate and cement: with this basic recipe and the skills developed in the course of 125 years, ESCOFET 1886 manufactures its products under the constants of research into its production process and extending the potential of the materials in a dual thrust of advanced technology and craftsmanship.

ESCOFET’s Master Craftsmen combine experience, talent and technological innovation from the initial production of high quality moulds to the specific formulation of raw materials and final finishes, where each item follows a specific process.

OUR MOULDS

RAW MATERIAL AND FORMULATION

MOULDING AND DEMOULDING

INSTALLATION

We use steel, fibreglass-reinforced polyester, elastomers, plaster, styrofoam or wood in our moulds, depending on the shape of the product, the envisaged volume of output and the dimensional margins given in the technical specifications. The mould exteriors receive any reinforcement ne-cessary to support the weight and stress of the filling, handling and demoulding processes.

The fluid mixture is left to set in optimum con-ditions until demoulding. The number of moulds is determined by the size of each series and the use of each mould, once per day.

Our concrete is prepared in an automatic loading and dosing machine: water, aggregates, cement, dyes, armour, reinforcement fibres and chemical additives are the raw materials used in diffe-rent formulations.

PACKING AND PROTECTION The products are packed and protected for inter-national container shipping. We strive for optimum protection and ease of handling in compliance with all international transport regulations.

Another aspect of ESCOFET’s work is the study and implementation of the best ways to assemble and install our products on-site, an essential phase in concrete wall cladding projects, whe-re ESCOFET technicians develop the construction project and install the complete facade.

In search of excellence MATERIALS: CONCRETE

Concrete with a self-compacting consistency. Ce-ment content: 350-400kg/m3. This historic base material has been analysed and innovated on by ESCOFET to produce new formulations, colours and textures. We currently have a basic range of 17 concrete finishes to choose from.

Concrete with a fluid/liquid consistency. Minimum cement content: 700kg/m3, with organic fibres. New UHPC technology has allowed us to toss aside previously assumed equations. Bending, twisting and reducing depths to thin slices, hitherto impossible due to the unyielding nature of concrete, are now feasible thanks to this new technology. Lightness and subtlety has won over weight and stiffness. Slimconcrete has revolutionized the concepts of thinness, strength, durability and sustainability in concrete.

COLOURS

TEXTURE

Different colours blended with the mass are obtained using the natural colours of our aggregate and additional UV-resis-tant stains.

The textured surface fi-nish of moulded concrete permits a wide range of textures and reliefs.

Enjoying our everyday environs

Streetscapes are a “home for all”, open areas where we share and enjoy our common environ-ment. At ESCOFET Urban Life, we design ele-ments that facilitate relaxation, and also nurture and beautify our cities: ESCOFET ben-ches, seats, tables, planters, bubblers and litter bins are part of our collective ima-gination.

City light

Cities do not sleep. When the sun sets and the light fades, ESCOFET Lighting helps us to enjoy the other face of the city: its night-life. Street lights, pathway lights, columns and other lighting elements in the ESCOFET catalogue illuminate and mark public spaces for their night time use.

ESCOFET has included the DAE collection of products and designs to enhance and complement our current range. This is another step forward in design which serves our shared environs with new street furniture and lighting.

At street level

Streets, boulevards, promenades, squares and parks shape our city routes. Everything be-neath our feet, for free and orderly walking, strolling or running. At ESCOFET Walk, we de-sign the necessary elements at street level: pavers, tree surrounds, boundaries, bicycle racks, ... to facilitate citizen commodity and mobility.

Architecture in full view

The most visible face of the city is the ar-chitecture of its facades- large structures, emblematic areas. At ESCOFET Building we help architects to design and renovate the archi-tectural reality with a unique, beautiful touch. ESCOFET facades, brise soleils and other special products make each project a new benchmark.

“Ohhh ....I just loooove Lun-gomare! .... We showed Esco-fet four sketches and they got excited”.

“I would say that we have somehow planted a flower and Escofet is watering it, giving it fertilizer and nurturing it. We have been lucky to see just how much Escofet cares for our flowers”.

“I have never seen the quality standards I’ve seen here an-ywhere else; the finishes are outstanding. When I think of concrete, the first thing that comes to mind is to design something for ESCOFET. They really inspire you to create more ideas”.

ESCOFET is a company that has managed to mature its product line and incorporate design as a core feature of its innovation and creation process. Always ahead of its time, this family business with a worldwide projection has encouraged synergies with industry sectors, championing side-by-side work as its methodology. Now as before, the company’s consolidated project-based culture has inspired empathy with leading figures in design and architecture, from Gaudí to a long list of prominent names.

ESCOFET knows it is essential to do multidisciplinary work with teams of consultant ar-chitects, designers and artists who can reinterpret each process, each material, over and over again until they arrive at results that allow us to generalize new solutions and foster a more stimulating generation of elements.
