Our History

Arturo Carbonell is the founder of Abanicos Carbonell C.B, therefore he is the representative of the first generation of this company. In 1864, he bought an old fan factory, a business that had begun in 1810 but that he knew how to manage and turn it into a benchmark for success. The death of the founder of the company, makes the management pass into the hands of his son Arturo Carbonell Requena (2nd generation) and later his grandson José Carbonell Peydró (3rd generation).

“To know the world of the fan is to know a world unknown to many, but full of secrets and virtues” says Guillermo Carbonell, representative of the fourth generation. An affirmation that Paula Carbonell initiates, fifth generation of Abanicos Carbonell.

Despite the years, the essence of Abanicos Carbonell C.B continues being the same one that our founder, Arturo Carbonell, established. From him, we learned the trade and thanks to him we continue working on our passion, which is craftsmanship through fans.
