More than 60 years offering quality in band saws

Innovation and tradition at the service of our customers

Based in Castellón de la Plana, Castelló y Michavila S.L. is the continuation of a constant pursuit of excellence, where talent and the ambition to create the highest quality are passed down from generation to generation.

A family-owned company, its foundations were laid in the previous century by Mr. Rafael Michavila Ripoll, who worked in various woodworking companies, both repairing machinery and manufacturing saws, as well as being a master sharpener.

In 1959, his nephew Mr. Vicente Castelló Michavila—a tireless worker and perfectionist who had trained in Germany—joined him as a young apprentice. After several years working alongside his uncle, he fully embraced his vocation for improvement. He began researching new markets beyond woodworking.

He explored the various applications of different cutting and sharpening materials and entered the food industry. His travels to Bilbao and Barcelona led him to the materials needed to create a saw suitable for cutting food—meat, bones, and frozen products. This journey led to the founding of Talleres Vicente Castelló, which manufactured saws for various bandsaw manufacturers and distributors. The sum of all these efforts resulted in the company’s current name and identity.

In 2005, after over thirteen years working alongside his father, the third generation, Mr. Raúl Castelló Araque, took over the business. He has carried forward the same philosophy that gave rise to the company, while incorporating cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest quality in all the products manufactured and distributed. His goal is to enhance performance and deliver optimal solutions that help clients achieve maximum benefits, fostering long-term collaborative relationships.
