Its corporate name was SERRANO Y ARPÍ FÁBRICA DE MÁQUINAS PARLANTES APARATOS FONOGRÁFICOS BARCELONA. The workshop was established in 7 Vidrio St. In 1913 the firm already published advertisements of their products and soon they became one of the leading gramophone manufacturers at a national level. Their gramophones mounted their own reproducers, some of them with very personal and fine-looking designs. The company also sold accessories and spare parts, and provided the customer with technical support service.
