History

Plantillas Coimbra was founded in 1941 under the name of "La Corchera del Valles" by Mr. Amadeo Estradé in Granollers (Barcelona). At that time he was mainly engaged in the manufacture of Cork insoles; Hence the name of the company.

In 1968, Josep Roca acquires the business with a total of two people in staff. Mr. Roca takes "La Corchera del Valles" to success. In 1976 and, after several years of work, the company becomes Plantillas Coimbra; As we know it today. From then on the company began to grow and it is in 1997 when its internationalization begins. It is currently present in more than 40 different countries.

In 1990 and in full growth, Josep Roca retires and leaves Coimbra at the hands of his two sons: Amadeo Roca and Luís Roca. Thanks to the arrival of the Roca brothers, the company makes a very important change: the entire company is computerized, it makes a change of image and installs the first semi-automatic manufacturing line. With these new changes and the internationalization of Plantillas Coimbra the company moves to a new bigger manufacturing plant.

In 1999, Amadeo Roca died and the management of the company remains in the hands of Luís Roca along with the support of his wife Pilar Terés, who had been working in the company for several years. The two continue with the family business with great success. From then on, Coimbra expanded its surface and machinery. It currently has more than 2000 m2 and a workforce of more than 15 workers.

From 2014, Ivette Roca, daughter of Luís Roca and Pilar Terés, joined the family busines . Since that time, Plantillas Coimbra is a step forward opening to the e-commerce market, adding new ideas and increasing the online presence of the brand in different and new markets
