Back in 1985, Manuel “Manolo” Rubio decided to lay the foundations of what is today a worldwide-renowned leading company in the tanning industry. From his humble beginnings as a small workshop in Elda, town located in the south-east of Spain, Timbrados Rubio, now co-headed by his three sons, has become an established brand that counts dozens of workers, expert craftsmen able to skillfully process leather through the use of the most advanced technologies in a pioneering factory based in Elche, Alicante.

That’s where we met Cristian, one of the second-generation managers at the helm of the company. Entering the factory you immediately perceive the dual value of the Timbrados Rubio production, a winning combination between tradition and innovation: the artisans carefully control the raw material, processed with the most modern technologies, and follow the whole processing, leather to leather, centimeter to centimeter, to guarantee a unique product, a challenge aimed at excellence and undertaken daily with particular attention to customer needs and the latest innovations in the sector.
The company has recently been implemented with digital impression machines and automatic production lines, in order to offer faster delivery and a wider assortment. Furthermore, ample space has been dedicated to the sewing machines, thanks to which unique designs and textures are needled on each type of leather. As a matter of fact, the success of Timbrados Rubio is to be attributed, among other things, to the variety of its offer, which ranges from painted to embossed leathers, from silk-screen prints to laminates.
Through a meticulous processing, which takes place in full compliance with the current quality and environmental regulations (REACH) totally within the company, leathers take many shapes, finishes, colors depending on current trends or on the specific need of the customer: the right mix between the creativity of the designers, the technology and the artisan touch able to create the perfect masterpiece.
Mainly used in the fashion sector, the finished products are exceptionally beautiful, durable and long-lasting, fruit of years of experience and very high quality standards, namely, the real prerogative of the company, which stands out on the market as a reliable and punctual partner of shoe factories and leather goods manufacturers located all over the world. www.timbradosrubio.com
