We follow one common objective: dedicating and improving ourselves every day to make the best products.
The three Symbols of our History
Castey products capture the handcraft legacy of Barberí artistic foundry, founded in the 16th Century. During its long history, the Barberí artistic foundry has produced bells, sculptures and, of course, cookware. Some of the old casseroles made in the foundry have lasted until the present days. Nowadays, these ancient casseroles made of bronze are sold as antiques.
Castey was born from the Barberí Artistic Foundry to create a cookware home division able to increase the production and distribution of the cookware products which had been manufactured in Barberí since the sixteenth century.n
Castey first product was the Concave Casserole, which today is still one of the most representative products of the company. It was developed to improve the most popular traditional Catalan casserole. Its introduction created consumers awareness in valuing cast aluminum advantages, which encouraged Castey to keep on developing new items.
Castey specialization is cast aluminum cookware with non-stick coating, but recently we have introduced cookware made of other materials, such as stainless steel and cast iron, and expanded into tabletop and foodprep by introducing flatware and cutlery.
Meanwhile, Barberí craftsmen continue casting in bronze, the work of art of innumerable internationally-known artists. It is also one of the few companies left in the world that still continues to work in the art of bell making, with reputation known for its perfect distinctive tones of superiority. We share our headquarters with the Barberí Artistic Foundry so as not to lose connection with our origin.
