In 1956, anticipating the arrival in Spain of the major European car brands, we opened our first factory without imagining how the company would grow or just how complex the global automotive industry would become. The Italian poet Cesare Pavese said that we are not able to remember days; we remember moments. This is because emotions last only a moment. We have experienced Rubí’s seventy years as a succession of moments, from the moment of its foundation to the major decisions that have marked our history. And those yet to come.
We would love for you to join us in celebrating this anniversary, which is so important to all of us – people from different generations who have each contributed our own part, our own personal touch, to make up the Rubí family.
