Can Birba

THE OLD BIRBA BISCUIT FACTORY

Llorenç Birba, son of the founder of the company, is one of the main experts and propagators of the history of the Valley of Camprodon.
After extending the shop opened by his father with the addition of a bakery, in 1910 Llorenç Birba decided to sell biscuits made with natural and high­ quality products. His initiative was a success: Birba biscuits began to be sold outside of the region and soon production started to increase. Because of this, in 1927 Llorenç Birba acquired some land near Maristany Promenade where he could build a factory, which he opened two years later. In 2008 was put into operation a new plant in Colònia Estabanell.
