Cartés: Global specialist in filtration.
Cartés is currently one of the best-known companies in the industry and a leader in filtration systems.
Over these 45 years we have become the leading filtration specialist in Spain, with over 9,000 m2 of storage facilities in Madrid, Andalusia, Catalonia and Galicia. We supply more than 100 different brands and we have 800,000 filters in stock and 60,000 references, delivered to over “X” countries across the world. We provide solutions for all kinds of activities, from mobile applications in the automotive industry, transport, public works and agriculture to filtration in such diverse industries as paper, machine tools, mining, food and energy, among others.
For a number of years, to meet the needs of our customers, we have developed our own brands –Step Filters and Aldair Industrial Filtration-, to provide a service to companies requiring more specific filters or new brands to set themselves apart, without sacrificing quality, price or service.
Everything that Cartés now represents is down to the eagerness of our professionals to broaden their expertise in filtration, so that the service that they provide to our customers gets better every day.
Over 40 years ago
Customer-orientation through specialisation, a principle that has endured
Cartés had just been created, the result of the visionary idea of its founder, Vindemial Aldea Carrera. With small premises in the Elipa district of Madrid and product knowledge mostly acquired during his years working at Filtros Cribex, Vindemial started supplying filters for automobiles.
Nothing but filters: an original idea, which would go on to give rise to a project full of hope and challenges.
During the subsequent years, new brands were added to the product range and they started exploring other industries such as industrial vehicles and machinery for heavy duty.
1985: Establishing our reputation in the industry
2001: New sectors and a team capable of giving advice on any area of filtration
After many years of specialisation, Cartés had become a byword for service, stock and choice.
Our professionals were well-known for their expertise and the time had come for international expansion and the development of new technological solutions that would facilitate the daily work of our customers.
2007: Another step forward in service.
Full coverage
A central warehouse in Madrid, an office in Catalonia and, finally, an opening in Andalusia, meant that the entire Spanish market was being covered.
2009: New business lines, being true to our principles.
As enthusiastic as ever.
Our teams continue to strive to broaden their expertise in filtration, so that the service that they provide to our customers gets better every day.
So, in each department of Cartés, we work continuously to develop new product ranges (Step Process Filters), new technological solutions (dBiZ), new domestic and international markets and, naturally, to be closer to our customers.
We are here to learn , do we filter?
