Our company, with near 100 years of history, has followed an uninterrupted line of family tradition that has led us to the present fourth generation.
Keeping within our memories all those who preceded us and who in their time generated the illusions that materialised in the reality we inherited, we go on undertaking new projects, facing new challenges with a look at the future, and working day after day for the development and growth of our firm.
Our vocation keeps alive our commitment for service, development, research and work, to offer every day more and better solutions to our customers and to the industries of the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and related markets, contributing this way to a better quality of life for the people.
This is our most precious aim.

The company goes back to 1910, when a small workshop is established in Barcelona, dedicated to the construction of machinery in general and for the pharmaceutical industry in particular.
Ten years later, J. BONALS begins its specialisation in the development and construction of machinery for solid treatment: granulation, drying, compacting and compression.
During the sixties, new industrial technologies and higher complexity of raw materials to handle forced the company to specialise, adapting the design for the improvement of every customer need.
