1946
CEFA was founded by Mr. Eduardo Blanchard
Castillo in 1946. The factory's first products were cellulose caps
for bottles and other chemical products such as gelatine, saccharin
and soap, starting with the injection of thermoplastics in 1952.
1960
CEFA ensures its situation in the sector of automotive industry
and household equipments and starts the production using blow moulding
technology.
At the same time, a production line for the manufacturing of toys
and household goods is developed, being these products widely sold
the same on the national as also on the international market.
1970
At the end of the 70es CEFA creates a special unit for the
manufacturing of plastic bubble-film for packaging, called Embalajes
Air Plastic, S.L.
1983
The ongoing increase of business made that CEFA had to move
to its current facilities, located in the industrial area of Malpica
(Zaragoza) in 1983.
1992
Being evident that the evolution of markets forces the suppliers
to get more and more specialized, CEFA takes the decision
to get rid of the manufacturing of household goods and to separate
the manufacturing of toys creating a new company called Cefa Toys.
From this moment on, CEFA focused its production exclusively
on the automotive industry.
1994
Due to the continuos increasing of globalization of markets, CEFA gets into a joint venture with the Peguform Group, who are from
then on part of the share holders of the company. This enhanced
the worldwide distribution of Cefa's products even more.
1997
CEFA returns to the sector of household equipments establishing
a "shop-in-shop" - production with BSH-Balay for the manufacturing
and direct delivery to their assembly line of pipes for washing
mashines.
2001
A compeletely independent unit of production is created: ALGONTEC S.L. This new factory is specialized in blow moulding
technology, based on the large experience of CEFA in developing
and manufacturing blow moulded parts. This decision is intended
to develop and power this activity up.
