Therefore, he created machines able to rolling three times faster and better than the competition.

First steps
The steps to materialize the idea of “Copy Valls” began at the end of 1992. After locating the appropriate fell into two lines: firstly,stationery, photocopying, printing press located in the locality of Valls; on the other hand, the company that would make the paper and aluminium cones located in Riudoms. These two lines representing the same company were called “Copy Valls c.b.”. In 1993 he began to explore the market of small and medium-sized ice cream, wich did not have the same opportunities as big multinationals and they started selling paper cones with a minimum of 15.000 units versus 75,000 units the minimum of competition to a single ink. The ability to customize the cones with these small amounts was one of the strengths of the project. Without doubt, the product was welcomed in the market with an absolute success. |

After the great success achieved in the first year, shareholders hired commercial distribution services for the product could reach any area. Cones dispensers created and patented by Manuel Ferrándiz also began to bear fruit: their presence in the market would growi. These dispensers were given away with the first orders. In 1994 the shareholders had the idea to introduce another innovative product in the Spanish market. After months of hard negotiations with European multinationals, in December of that year was granted sole distribution of a distinguished Italian firm to distribute tubs. |
