From an idea to a leading company
Riversa's story begins with a real need on the factory floor. In the late 1970s, Carlos Lorenzo and Francisco Javier Poyo laid the foundations of the sector in La Rioja by founding the first industrial kitchen furniture plant in Rincón de Soto. That experience as manufacturers would, years later, give life to our project.
In 1993, faced with a national market that did not offer the technical flexibility their designs demanded, they decided to take a step forward. They founded Riversa with a clear objective: to manufacture themselves the components that no one else was willing to produce, betting on unprecedented freedom in sizes, colours and finishes.
What began as an internal solution for a 2,500 m² workshop soon became a benchmark for the entire industry. In just four years, the great reception of our service model drove us to expand our facilities to 13,000 m², establishing Riversa as the strategic partner of manufacturers and distributors across the national market.
This evolution continues with the recent expansion to 15,000 m², a facility designed to meet new technical challenges. We now incorporate specialised processes such as PET board lamination and the manufacture of J-profiles on melamine, HPL and PET — key tools to drive our international expansion and continue offering the versatility that has defined Riversa since its founding.

Our products are available as FSC® certified only on request and subject to availability.
