Our history
1949
Central Borne is born
Francesc Arqués i Rovira (1899) opens a food products wholesaler establishment in Born market, Barcelona’s commercial epicenter. .
1970 - 1971
New shops
At the same time as the shop in Born Market is being expanded, we open a second Central Borne establishment in Hospitalet de Llobregat’s Collblanc Market. Soon afterwards, Mercabarna takes over from Born as Barcelona’s central market, which is where we open a third shop.
1974
Centralized storage facility
We then open a new establishment in Esplugues de Llobregat, which apart from a shop also has a cash&carry and a storage facility which serves all our premises.
1991
Food service industry
We create a commercial department focused on distribution in the food service industry, and the first Christmas hamper campaign takes place.
1992 - 1997
New premises and a new storage facility
We open two Central Borne shops in Barcelona Airport’s Terminal 2. In need of more space, we move the storage facility to Hospitalet de Llobregat. First freezer installation.
1998
Integrated Service
We start to offer the Integrated Service by supplying Vall d’Hebron Hospital.
1999
50th Anniversary
The year Central Borne celebrates its 50th anniversary, we are awarded the ISO 9001 certification, an international quality standard benchmark.
2000 - 2006
Focus on distribution
We close the last cash&carry and decide to focus exclusively on distribution. We start transporting products in multi-temperature lorries and we consolidate the integrated service model with new clients, including Xanascat, Tibidabo and Barcelona Zoo.
2016
Logistics platform
We change to a distribution model with a logistics platform, which leads to us leaving the Hospitalet de Llobregat storage facility. At the same time, we open the office in the Esplugues de Llobregat’s Il·lumina Building.
