History
Quality, Innovation and Design since 1930
1930
In 1930, the seven Bueno brothers founded the company.
They were from Eibar (Guipúzcoa), the town where the small workshop was located and where they started manufacturing scissors in an artisanal way.
During this first phase the main products manufactured were scissors for household use: manicure, nails, embroidery, sewing, etc. marketed under the 3 Claveles brand.
The first years were the most difficult in the long history of Bueno Hermanos, due to the historical moment in the country with the civil war and the post-war period. However, the company remained firm because of the strong family ties on which it was based. It was not an easy matter, but they gradually consolidated a position in the national market through their 3 Claveles brand, which was already becoming known as a synonym for quality.
1950
First expansion of the company and diversification of models.
In 1950, the company carried out his first expansion by moving to larger facilities, a new three-floor building adapted to the space requirements at the time, where forty people worked with the most advanced machinery available on the market.
It was at this time when the company began to increase his range with scissors for professional use, electricians, tailors, harvest, pruning, kitchen, etc. The number of models increased at the same time as the space became insufficient.
1963
In 1963, as a result of constant growth, the Bueno family decided to move their headquarters to Logroño (La Rioja).
And to built a factory of 5,000 m2 in the San Lázaro industrial park, which in 1969 was enlarged to 11.000 m2 by adding a new building to the initial construction.
The production is already marketed all over the country and exported to 5 continents.
Over the years, the product range has diversified for both household and professional use.
During the 80s and 90s, a great expansion of the company occurred and it started to manufacture and market different types of household and professional products for different markets such as cutlery, hardware, household, grape harvesting, pruning, perfumery, pharmacy, hairdressing, gastronomy, etc., as well as the use of stainless steel.
1999
Construction of a new factory in Cantabria I Industrial Park in Logroño (La Rioja).
As a business in constant expansion, in 1997 it took one of the most important decisions in the company's history and decided to build a new factory on a surface area of 2.000 m2.
In 1999, the company moved to the new factory in Cantabria I Industrial Park in Logroño (La Rioja), with the goal of maintaining and increasing market share in Spain, and reinforcing the development of internationalisation, making a qualitative and quantitative step very significant.
In this facility, special attention was paid to the environment, with a treatment plant for industrial waste.

In 2003, the company founded the first foreign subsidiary of Bueno Hermanos, S.A. in Buenos Aires, Argentina, called 3 Claveles Argentina, S.A., 100% owned by the Bueno family.
