Company

History

MIGUÉLEZ SEATING is part of a family-owned holding company managed by the third generation of the same family.

Our products are available in Portugal, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Malta, Chile, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and the USA. We expect to reach a sales volume of €370 million by 2025.

Our company was founded in 1951 as a result of the entrepreneurial spirit of brothers Luis and José Miguélez. In those early years, the company manufactured TV tables, camping chairs, and folding seats for multi-purpose commercial vehicles.

MIGUÉLEZ's connection to the automotive sector led to a rapid commitment to pursuing TOTAL QUALITY as an essential goal.

In 1976, MIGUÉLEZ began manufacturing its first sets of armchairs and tables for the burgeoning gaming industry.

In the 1990s, 80% of the bingo halls in the Iberian Peninsula (900) were equipped with our products. MARMOL-K tables were a constant feature in all of them. Today, many of those tables are still in use in halls throughout Europe.

In 1999, Italy enacted a gambling law. MIGUÉLEZ supplied 11,000 chairs and thousands of tables to equip more than 40 bingo halls in the country.

Our specialization as manufacturers of stools for slot machines developed naturally with the evolution of the gaming industry.
