History
Origins and history (1918–1971)
Foundation on Avenida del Puerto. Amando Lizandara set up the factory on what was then Avenida de los Aliados. After an initial period working with partners, he ran the business on his own until it closed in 1971, leaving his mark on the local industry.
Family legacy and the 1957 flood
Three generations in the same trade. From Amando to his daughter María, dominoes were the family’s mainstay. During the flood of 1957, the floodgate guards bought a set from the factory to keep themselves occupied throughout that tragic night.
Exclusive materials and designs
From German celluloid to beech wood. The company offered nine iconic models, such as the Cervantes and the Imperial, made from imported celluloid or beech wood. Quality and variety were the hallmarks of a catalogue designed to suit every type of customer.
Production and luxury details
End-to-end manufacturing and customisation. In the same building, they produced everything from the cardboard used for the tokens to boxes lined with gold leaf. They offered repair services and stamped their consignments with their historic emblem, the forerunner of today’s modern logos.
International expansion
From local casinos to the export market. They supplied private customers and casinos in Valencia, but their success spread to the US, Venezuela and Equatorial Guinea. With a sales network in Barcelona, the brand managed to bring local craftsmanship to three continents.
