1926
Rubí Industria de Cremalleras was founded in 1926 as Azamon España, at that time a manufacturer for Lightning Zippers Ltd., a subsidiary of Imperial Metal Industries Ltd. (IMI) in London. During those years, the factory produced under the name Lightning Zippers.
1987
Due to international economic difficulties, Opti and IMI decided to divest the business and transfer it to the employees, who formed Rubi Zippers.
1990
The company began a process of international expansion and growth, establishing itself as a prestigious brand recognised in the industry. During this period, investments were made in modernising systems and expanding the factory’s market presence.
2009
Due to the global economic crisis, the company undertook a restructuring process that culminated in 2016 with the entry of two investment funds, which revitalised the company under its new name, Rubí Industria de Cremalleras.
