J. Vilaseca’s story goes back 300 years to the arrival of the Vilaseca family to Capellades, then epicenter of the Spanish paper industry. What started as a family project to group together various paper mills in the municipality - the oldest named Cal Mata was founded in 1714 - has evolved over time into the current corporation, which now has two production plants in Capellades, one in Vallbona d' Anoia and the headquarters in the center of Barcelona.

The values that govern J.Vilaseca’s strategy remain as they were on the first day, 300 years ago: it is a socially committed family business, dedicated to excellent customer service, continuous technological innovation and a sustainable approach to ensure maximum respect for the environment.

The company’s investment culture has facilitated modernization parallel with technological developments. Thus, J.Vilaseca boasts state of the art equipment and facilities that allow an annual production capacity of 63,000 tons per year. The company is thus prepared to quickly and effectively fulfill the demand of an increasingly specialized global market that looks for a high level of added value.

In the past 50 years J.Vilaseca has transformed its business model from manufacturing security and writing papers to producing all kinds of high-end papers: specialty papers and industrial base papers, security papers, printing and writing papers, Poster papers and wine labels, embossed and pearly papers and recycled papers. Specialization in niche markets, adaptability, flexibility and continuous investment to create new families of products are some of the company’s strengths.

J.Vilaseca is after all, a three hundred year old company that looks to the future committed to quality, sustainability and innovation, but without losing its original ethos.
