Escoda Barcelona

The Escoda factory as we know it, just like the paintbrush itself, has a long history. It started in the autumn of 1933 in Sabadell, near Barcelona where Josep Escoda Roig (1902-1982) engineered the very first artisanal paintbrush that later became renowned by artists around the world.

Josep’s main objective was to make the best brush, and that’s what he passed on to his sons, Josep and Ricard, and later on shared to their daughter and sons, Anna, Ricard, Marc and Josep. Thus, it is the third generation of brush makers who love what they do, who know what the artist wants, and they are conscious of the fact that their industrial contribution is a small support to the world of art.
