EMEDE: TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN THE PRODUCTION OF TOP RANGE FURNITURE
1980-1990: ORIGINS
Emede was created in 1980 thanks to the business initiative and vision of three experienced professionals from the furniture industry: brothers, Jordi and Albert Marcoval Domenech and Juan Sabater Salom.
From the start the business has had the clear vocation of producing top range bedroom furniture, which is distributed to all the corners of Spain. The place chosen to set up production was La Senia, Tarragona, and a town famous for the production of furniture and at the moment the focal point of the furniture sector on a Spanish level.
In the early years the business alternated between hand-made craft furniture and the industrial production of furniture. In 1987 the programme, KATIA, was launched which made EMEDE an icon and gave it an undisputed reputation in the home furniture sector.
1990-2000: INDUSTRIALISATION
EMEDE grew and production became industrialised putting personalisation at the forefront of the development of the catalogue.
In 1993 the METRO programme was born, it was the start of a new concept of totally personalised modular bedroom furniture products that still persists nowadays. A year later in 1994, the SINFIN innovative wardrobe system was launched. It was the first modular wardrobe system on the Spanish market, which permitted uncountable storage combinations and solutions.
The business matured in the national market and began to enter markets abroad, this brought about collaboration with international companies as part of its opting for quality and design for a success internationally.
2000 - current : MODERNISATION
The process of generational change in the business started, gradually incorporating the second generation of management.
EMEDE followed on in the spirit of innovation and quality, standing up to important changes in the production processes and commercialisation of furniture in order to offer more products. The internationalisation of the business was consolidated with exports to countries like France, Belgium, Germany and The United States.
In the year 2015 EMEDE amplified its catalogue further, launching the innovative CONNECTOR, which still has the principal attributes of the business: compatibility, personalisation and refined design.
