our journey

Our activity began in 1947 in a small workshop​

It all began in 1947 when José Juan started manufacturing bicycle cables, which led to the creation of the company that would bear his name.

In 1965, the J.JUAN brand was officially established and registered as a public limited company. Since then, the company has expanded both nationally and internationally, growing from a well-known brand in Spain to a global leader in braking systems.

In 1980, the company embarked on its international expansion, starting exports worldwide and aligning itself with the best manufacturers.

After two decades of growth, the company entered the 21st century with the opening of its headquarters in Gavá, Barcelona. In 2006, the first international office was established in China, followed by offices in the United States and India in 2012.

By 2023, approximately 1.4 million motorcycles were equipped with J.JUAN hydraulic tubes as standard. Since then, the company’s economic growth and international prestige have surged, solidifying its position as the leading manufacturer worldwide.
