Overview
ARTERO is a family owned Spanish company founded in 1909. Pascual Artero started the business in Manresa, selling tools for horse shearing. Over four generations, the company shifted its focus toward professional hairdressing and pet grooming products. The business is now led by the fourth generation, brothers Alex and Edu Artero.
The company began specializing in barbering products (soaps, straight razors) in the early 20th century. By the mid 1940s, ARTERO had expanded into cutlery, salon tools, and grooming equipment. In 2000, the company branched into cosmetics manufacturing and electric devices like flat irons and clippers.

The brand lists specialties including blunt cutting, slide cutting, point cutting, texture control, volume control, and blending. According to the brand, ARTERO manufactures and sells over 4,000 products across its professional hairdressing and pet grooming lines.
In 2010, the company launched the Artero International Academy (AIA), a training program for pet groomers. According to ARTERO, the academy now operates through more than 100 centers in Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
Distribution
ARTERO is headquartered in Spain with its own retail stores in Barcelona, Vilassar de Dalt, Madrid, and Valencia. The company also operates branches in France, the UK, and the United States (Florida). According to the brand, ARTERO exports to more than 75 countries. The company employs a team of over 90 people.
