1873
Origins
Our group was founded in 1873 with a challenge: to guarantee the supply of water for irrigation and consumption in Castelló. This commitment not only addressed a need but also laid the foundation for a water management model and foreshadowed its key role in the future. We soon explored other sectors such as fruit exports and maritime logistics, always with a dedication to service and the firm conviction of being active agents in the evolution of cities.
1950-1980
Evolution of cities and rise of tourism
We supported urban growth by strengthening our presence in urban services through environmental management and infrastructure development. At the same time, we boosted tourism with the opening of our first hotel in Benicàssim and diversified our offerings with a travel agency and a water park. Our vision remained the same: not just to build cities, but to make them more livable, dynamic, and attractive.
1990-2000
Consolidation of growth and strategic expansion
In a context of globalization and technological advancement, we expanded our knowledge of water management, incorporating solutions tailored to the current production challenges in the industrial water sector. Tourism was evolving, and so was our understanding of it: we extended our national presence by opening hotels in urban areas, responding to new travel trends. Furthermore, we launched our own institutional catering division, reaffirming our commitment to people's well-being.
2010-2020
Digitalization, sustainability and leadership in the face of major challenges
We are committed to technological solutions, integrating IoT, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence into our services to make cities smarter and more sustainable. At the same time, we are strengthening our presence in strategic sectors such as facility services, energy, telecommunications, bioenergy, and renewable gases.
Furthermore, in our constant expansion, we continue to broaden our portfolio of hotels with openings in key cities and diversify our services with the launch of new initiatives, such as premium flexible spaces, adapted to new ways of living and working.
