Taurus Group
It was founded in a garage by Francisco Betriu de Cal Cases and Jorge Escaler in 1962 in Oliana. The company had 25 employees at the time and manufactured coffee grinders and hair dryers. The creation of Taurus in 1962 represented for Oliana a sustained growth, both in population (doubling it and close to 2,500 inhabitants) and in social and economic well-being.
