Gibeller, more than 100 years with you

History

In 1923 Gibeller was founded on the initiative of Mr. Giner and Mr. Ribelles, as a warehousing company dedicated to the supply of building materials.

In 1924 Mr. José Torregrosa Sirvent bought the company where he was employed as a paver, when he won a lottery prize of 4000 pesetas. He soon expanded his business by acquiring two English-made lorries with which he transported building materials and other goods. In this way, Gibeller became the second most important transport company in the area.

From 1933 onwards, the company’s activity expanded with the incorporation of new products: mosaic and artificial stone. That same year, a hydraulic mosaic tile factory was created in Vistahermosa. In addition, in 1946, the company set up an artificial stone workshop in Campello.

In 1947, a period of expansion and growth began. During this period, new points of sale were opened in the province of Alicante:

2008 was an important year for the company. May saw the opening of the Mazarrón shop. The same year saw the opening of the Elche shop.

In 2009 we partnered with the family business “Saneamientos Sempere”, located in Alcoy. On 24 May 2013 Gibeller obtained the opening licence for its Murcia shop.

On 20 July 2014, the director of Gibeller, Mr. Luis Torregrosa Leal, passed away. At that time, the generation changeover took place. The management of the company passed into the hands of the third generation of the Torregrosa family.

In 2015, the Gibeller Mazarrón shop changed location and the new shop in Altea was also inaugurated. That same year, the company Construcción Alcoy, Saneamientos Sempere was purchased and the showroom was renovated with a completely new and modern design.

In 2016, the new Valencia shop was opened. That same year, as part of the strategic plan, we moved the Elche shop to Valencia.

During that year, the last of the group’s companies, Progibespa, was also born. This company arose from Gibeller’s alliance with the Finnish company Pro Patio.

In addition, the Gibeller San Juan shop grew with the inauguration of its new kitchen areas, belonging to the Gibexpo group company, and the new area of paints and decorative coatings.
