Construmat is, in size and content, the most important Exhibition in the construction field. The suitable place for industry leaders and professionals to know the main technological advances related to construction.

The 2003 was the beginning of a new expansion process, which will become a reality in 2005, after the previous event where, for the first time, both the Montjuïc and Gran Vía (M2) exhibition sites were occupied simultaneously.

Construmat is an event run by Fira Barcelona, an institution with over 100 years' experience in organising general trade fairs and monographic exhibitions in all industrial sectors.

Construmat is held in Barcelona. An innovative city, and at the same time, with a great architectonic tradition. Its accommodation, cultural, commercial, gastronomic and leisure wide offer has become to Barcelona in a basic venue for business in the Mediterranean area.

Ricardo Bofill, Santiago Calatrava, Norman Foster, or Arata Isozaki, among others, are just some of the prestigious architects who have left their mark on the city's architecture.

When one looks at Roca's development since its beginnings, the real extent of the company, its contribution to the welfare and comfort of a whole country and its genuinely multinational scale, become apparent. Founded in 1917 by the Roca brothers, initially engaged in the production of cast iron radiators.

The rapid domination of that market and the determination to expand were the incentives for the expansion of product ranges and research in new products. The first cast iron baths in 1925 and the launch of Vitreous China in 1936 were landmarks in the unstoppable expansion of Roca in the Bathroom market.

The natural business ambition to diversify, while staying within the comfort field, led Roca to enter the Air Conditioning and floor and wall Tile markets in 1963 and 1980 with indisputable success.

With over three-quarters of a century of history, Roca is the leader in Spain in all the markets in which it operates, with factories and subsidiaries in four continents, and a sphere of commercial operations in more than 50 countries all over the world. Roca is one of the most ambitious world-wide business projects, without ceasing to be a one hundred per cent Spanish family owned business.
