In this sense and with the incorporation of Miquel Escayol, the company GERMANS BOADA, S.A. was born in 1969.<\/p>\n<p>During the 70s, GERMANS BOADA, S.A, as a company and, RUBI, as a brand, continued their growth and expansion.<br \/>\nOn the one hand, the company reinforces its exports and on the other, the brand keeps innovating its tools. The <strong>creation of the first mechanical breaker<\/strong> is the greatest contribution of that time and as a result of this new invention, <strong>the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/ts-max\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> TS<\/a> was born<\/strong>, considered worldwide as the manual cutter par excellence!<\/p>\n<p>With the appearance of porcelain stoneware, at the end of the 80s, RUBI created a new line of manual cutters, much more adapted to the needs and demands of international markets.<\/p>\n<p>The decade of the 90s, was the first golden age of RUBI, and the true expansion of GERMANS BOADA, S.A. The company expands with the <strong>opening of the first subsidiaries in European territory<\/strong>: Portugal, Italy, France&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>With the arrival of the new millennium, the growth of GERMANS BOADA, S.A. continues unstoppable, and the evolution of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/categories\/manual-cutters-for-ceramic-tiles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RUBI cutters<\/a>, crosses new limits, applying in its design and production, the latest technologies and adapting its tools to new needs.<\/p>\n<p>The inertia of GERMANS BOADA, S.A. and of RUBI was held back by the global financial crisis that hit \u00a0worldwide between 2007 and 2012.<br \/>\nEven in difficult times like these, RUBI continued working and improving its products. GERMANS BOADA, S.A. \u00a0becomes the GERMANS BOADA GROUP, thanks to the excellent health of its international subsidiaries.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2013, RUBI has placed the most advanced tools in the market in the hands of professionals: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/slim-easy-trans-plus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SLIM SYSTEM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/tz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TZ<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/dcx-250-xpert-1550\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ZERO DUST<\/a> range of electric cutters&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; but, let me tell you something. The merit is not only of RUBI, nor all of us who form the GERMANS BOADA GROUP. Much of this merit belongs to all the professionals, like you, who trust in our products every day and who, with your experience, comments, advice, and yes, of course also your complaints, that helped RUBI and the GERMANS BOADA GROUP, keep innovating and evolving since 1951.
