From Jafer to Tecnove: The Story of a Visionary Group

1 Sep, 2025 | Noticias

Today, TECNOVE bids farewell to a place that has been much more than just a factory. It has been our home for nearly 40 years. It was there that TECNOVE’s first projects were born, values were shaped, and bonds were forged that went far beyond work. But… what if we told you this story did not begin here?

Several decades earlier, at this very place, the foundations of what we are today were laid. The original building, facing the main road, was a wholesale market acquired by Javier Fernández around 1950. Shortly after, he bought the adjoining land, and by 1960 new workshops were built.

It was there that Construcciones Metálicas Jafer S.L. came to life, a pioneering company in the development of metal structures and industrial bodywork, founded in 1968 by the Fernández Caballero brothers. Jafer manufactured everything from irrigation waterwheels and agricultural trailers to truck bodies and specialized solutions for fairground operators, including tombolas, luxury mobile homes, and even attractions like camel races, which became known all over Spain.

From that legacy and entrepreneurial, innovative spirit, TECNOVE was born (an acronym for Tecnología de Vehículos Especiales). It was the next step in a journey marked by evolution, adaptation, and a constant commitment to technology. Since then, TECNOVE has designed and manufactured mobile solutions for sectors such as telecommunications, railways, defense and security, healthcare and emergency services, and many more tailor-made projects, always with a technical and specialized approach.

Today, this closure is not an end but the beginning of a new chapter in our story. They are opening the doors of new facilities with the same enthusiasm as in the very beginning, and with the strong conviction to continue growing, innovating, and surpassing themselves every single day.
