López

The over 160-year history of Frenería y Romanas López

Frenería y Romanas López is an artisan company founded in 1850 and located in Cortegana, Andalusia. The town is known for its many traditional handicraft businesses, which mainly serve the agricultural production in the region. Thus, the ancestors of the current owners, bits and spurs already supplied local riders.

At López, for five generations, the love of the craft and the secrets of making quality metalware have been passed down from father to son. Over the centuries, the forging skills and manufacturing processes have been constantly refined. Even today, López combines modern manufacturing processes with traditional craftsmanship. Without losing the knowledge of craftsmanship, traditional products continue to be manufactured with high quality and contemporary variety.
