Castrosua
Castrosua has just celebrated seventy years and does so as a leader in the national market for the manufacture of bus and coach bodies, and as a pioneer in the development of solutions for road passenger transport. The company was founded by José Castro Suárez in O Carballiño in 1948 in a small workshop of 200 square meters. Since then, innovation and social responsibility have marked the trajectory of a company in constant growth and expansion.
The work philosophy and commitment to internationalization transmitted by its founder are maintained with the third generation of the family at the helm of the company, which has positioned itself at the forefront of its sector. Four companies currently make up the business group: Castrosua, Carsa, Cidsa, and Insucar. It has grown from the initial 50 workers to more than 500 employees and with 90,000 square meters of operational facilities. It looks to the future, with sustainability as a priority action, offering eco-sustainable solutions to the market and thus consolidating its spirit of efficiently contributing to the road passenger transport sector.
