Our roots

Broquetas S.L. has over 90 years of experience in the world of non-ferrous metal casting, transforming tin, lead, silver, and copper for multiple industries.

Going back to 1975, at our facilities in Sant Boi de Llobregat, many of you will remember this reel from our Brofil Ag 3.5 brand for plumbing. The production manager was the father of the current manager, Lluís Broquetas. A time when every alloy was crafted with dedication and family tradition.

From the past to the present: innovation with purpose

Today, nearly 50 years later, in Sant Andreu de la Barca, our constant spirit of innovation has led us to manufacture consumables for the electronics industry, such as one of many in our range, the ECO 4 SAC 305 reel with integrated flux, a lead-free alloy reflecting our commitment to sustainability and R&D.

Additionally, our production process adheres to strict standards, uses high-purity raw materials, and maintains rigorous controls to minimize impurities and defects.

Our values: what never changes

From one reel to another, from one generation to the next, we remain true to what defines Broquetas:

• Evolving without forgetting our origins: Our history teaches us lessons that still guide decisions today (alloy handling, quality calibration, long-lasting welds).

• Responsible and eco-friendly innovation: It’s not just about making new products, but making better ones: with lead-free alloys, integrated flux, compliance with international regulations, emission control, and rejecting anything that does not add value.

• Commitment to quality: For decades we have worked under standards such as ISO 9001 and specific regulations for brazing, electronics, plumbing… all to ensure our products not only work, but perform with the trust our clients expect.

• Trust and proximity: Being a family business is not just part of our history; it is part of our approach. Care in processes, client relationships, technical support, and maintaining consistency all add up to building trust.

Looking to the future

The industrial world changes fast: new environmental requirements, international regulations (such as RoHS, REACH), and client expectations, many of whom value not just the product, but how it is made.

At Broquetas:

• We invest in R&D+i to always stay one step ahead.

• We improve processes to minimize emissions and waste, aiming for sustainability as a real goal.

• We adapt to specific needs, whether electronics, plumbing, brazing, selective, or manual work, always with quality at the core.

Two reels, two eras, one single purpose: to manufacture welding consumables that perform, that last, and that honor our origins

At Broquetas S.L., we don’t just produce solder wire, pastes, alloys, or fluxes: we generate trust, deliver innovation, and keep a family legacy alive, with the vocation to be industry leaders today and tomorrow.
