Timeline
The GAD journey
The origin
Diego González founds González Arte y Decoración in Premià de Dalt, Barcelona. A small framing workshop with a clear idea: to do things right.
From workshop to factory
The passion for mouldings and the demand for quality finishes transforms the workshop into a specialized manufacturer. GAD begins producing frames and pictures in series without sacrificing artisan control.
National expansion
GAD consolidates as a reference in the national market. Large surfaces and retail chains discover that GAD quality and delivery times are unmatched. The company grows to its current 5 plants.
International leap
With more than 15 countries in portfolio, GAD becomes a leading European manufacturer. France, Portugal and other international markets become regular destinations. The Made in Barcelona seal crosses borders.
A growing legacy
More than 40 years later, GAD commits to a wide range of wall decoration and a better world: raw materials with guaranteed responsible sourcing and PEFC Certification. The 1983 workshop now produces over 30,000 units per month.
