In Argentona, near the road to Mataró, drivers pass by a large industrial building every day. From one of the side walls hangs a red circle-framed logo: it is the logo of Velcro, the brand that invented and patented the famous fastening and fastening system. In Maresme, the company has its European headquarters and is a true industrial giant in the region: in 2024, Velcro Europe had a turnover of 67.3 million euros, making it the textile company with the highest turnover in the region and the eighth in the sector in the entire province of Barcelona.
