History | Cancio

The history of CANCIO is the history of the founder, Gregorio Cancio, whose origins are in Madrid where he started working as a cabinet-maker at the end of the 1950’s. In 1958 he moved to Villalba de los Alcores with his team, his home town where Cancio put down roots. In 2016, 20 years after the death of “Goyo”, his fighting spirit and creative character live on in the young team which is today’s CANCIO.
