- About us
SAGALÉS is a group of companies specialising in passenger transport
The earliest economic activity dates back to 1641, when peasant farmers were transported to different markets to sell their produce. With the advent of industrialisation, 50 years later, but with the first generations still at the helm, the Sagalés family specialised in the business of artisan wool carding. From there, the first routes were created to bring ice extracted from wells in the mountains of Moià to Barcelona. These routes also became the first networks linking various towns. In the 18th century, transport using carts, sprung carts and stagecoaches began. The 19th century was marked by the introduction of the first motor vehicles, which gave rise to regular services and greatly facilitated the expansion of transport.
With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the company was collectivised and most of the vehicles were lost as they were sent to the front. After the war, the remains of the vehicles were collected in order to restart operations. In fact, it was not until 8 August 1941 when the company itself was set up. From then on, Sagalés began to operate through different subsidiaries in order to provide urban services in major towns such as Granollers and Manresa. Despite the post-Franco period, the oil crisis and the post-Olympic economic crisis, Sagalés continued to be at the forefront of the transport sector, expanding its range of services to include occasional services, tourist services, transport for workers and school services, among others.
The Sagalés dedicated, as artisans to the business of wool farming. This was how the very first routes were created
Throughout its 375 years of history, Sagalés has consistently been at the forefront of the mobility sector generation after generation, offering services for organisations and events and meeting the transport needs of Catalonia. Some notable development in this regard include the implementation of Spain’s first T-10 ticket in the 1980s and the introduction of ramps for the people with reduced mobility and smartcards in the 1990s. We have received recognition for being one of the oldest companies in Catalonia, for our business associations, and for our corporate track record. Moreover, we have been awarded the Gold Medal for Passenger Transport, the Badge of Merit for Transport from the Catalan Government, and the Marketing Winners award, among others.
