Our history
1886 · The beginning, over 130 years ago
It was 1886 when in Massamagrell, a town in Valencia, José Tortajada Orón started a small workshop where he repaired iron hardware.
Thanks to his dedication and good job at conserving artisan traditions during the industrial revolution, he gathered a reputation among neighbours and the local population.
1950 · Passing the metal-working tradition from generation to generation
Years later his sons Jose María y Emilio Tortajada took control of the family business. It started growing and at the beginning of the 20th century it was a much more established company that could meet the needs of the time. During this period, they went through much hardship the Spanish Civil War and the Post-War amongst them. These adversities only forged a stronger character that strived for development, effort and constant overcoming of obstacles.
Excelling in the market of home furnishings
In 1974 the company came to be known as EMILIO TORTAJADA, S.L During this time it transformed into the company it is today. A large company that has been crafting door handles constantly innovating and creating timeless models that can be found in any household or hardware store, for instance, our automatic handle models.

Leader in sales in the national market
Over 130 years, the initial workshop turned into the current company that stands out in locksmithing, Castilian forging and iron-wrought artisan products. It has grown, developed and overcome adversities being able to turn into a reference company with the longest history of production in the Valencian Community and
the national ironwork market.
100% Made in Spain guarantee
At the same time, this was one of the most bittersweet moments in the history of our company when, due to more accessible tariffs for imported goods from the East most of our products were copied. The prices of imported goods burst the market of that time because they were considerably lower compared to the prices of the local quality labour.
Thanks to constant development, effort and improvement, the Tortajada family business was reinvented and expanded in the hands of the current generation in charge of the company.
2010 · Internationalisation of the Company
Today, it is the fourth generation along with a team of professionals that takes care of the family tradition, inheriting the enthusiasm and effort of their parents, all of which contribute to the constant flourishing of EMILIO TORTAJADA both on national and international level. Thanks to them, a family business turned into a competent 21st century company.
