1992, a year that changed everything

The Value of the Past

 

 



Fundició Dúctil Benito was created in 1992,

the year when the city of Barcelona hosted the Olympic Games. It was such an important year for this city, its people and so many around the world, that Fundicio Ductil Benito decided to name its firstbench, Barcino, as a tribute to the capital of Catalonia. The company’s portfolio gradually expanded over the years to reach a complete offer of Urban Equipment.

Citytest
Testing our benches

 

The urban elements installed on public spaces are not chosen by their citizens, who are actually the users and who will finally enjoy them. Rather it depends on the criteria of the person who specifies it on a scheme. 
We know that this is not an easy task for the specifiers and that is why we also try to guarantee that they have made a good choice, because at BENITO before launching a new bench on the market we run a pilot among citizens.
