Our History

1985
APD begins its journey

The family group acquires ownership of the company ANFESA and starts its journey in the manufacturing of copper-based alloy ingots.

1992
The APD Group is born

APD expands its product range with the manufacturing of continuous cast copper alloy bars and flat bars, creating the company Eurosuin Bronces, S.L. Thus, APD Group is formed, comprised of Aleaciones, Prealeaciones y Desoxidantes S.L. and Eurosuin Bronces, S.L.

1999
New headquarters

The continued growth in business volume of APD Group generates new structural needs leading to the creation of a new 13,000 m2 factory. Equipped with the most modern technologies and facilities, the new headquarters of APD Group was inaugurated in January 2002.

2006
Expansion of facilities and services

The ongoing expansion of APD Group leads to the purchase of adjacent facilities, bringing the total available space to over 20,000 m2. This move solidifies and increases production capacity, as well as material management, with the aim of providing better service to customers.

2009
The new APD

In September of this year, Aleaciones, Prealeaciones y Desoxidantes S.L. absorbs the company Eurosuin Bronces, S.L., becoming APD, a new brand that encompasses all facets of the business and presents itself as a solid alternative in the current global market.

2016
