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.
