J. Ascaso was born in a humble mountain town in the north of Spain.He was a man with an entrepreneurial spirit and the town offered him little opportunity. As a result he left for Barcelona with the equivalent of $30 in his pocket and a head full ideas.

In the fifties, J. Ascaso began work for a supplier of spare parts for espresso machines, chrome-plating parts. 1952 a 1962 J. Ascaso worked on the production line at Gaggia making espresso parts for consumer espresso machines throughout the world.

Other coffee machine manufacturers entered the market. Providing original spare parts was expensive and exclusive and the market continued to grow at a fast rate. J. Ascaso decided to supply all brands of spare parts to the entire market a lower prices. The idea led him in 1962 to open his own company in Barcelona, Spain.

There he met someone who would introduce him to enough distributors/technicians to keep the company going from 1966 onwards...he used to carry 4 different gaskets and 3 different filter holders with him in a old suitcase.
