Previously he only made small visits to the factory, since he continued to dedicate himself to his company of segments Barella and Bultó, turned into Fisa (Industrial Foundries), a business run by his nephew Joan Soler. The demand for motorcycles increased, and this is the reason Don Paco began to dedicate himself in body and soul. He himself was part of the official team of the Factory that participated in all kinds of sports tests, inside and outside of Spain, conquering numerous titles for the marque including the 1948 Spanish 250cc championship with a Montesa of 125 cc, in the Sardinian circuit of Santander, where today is located the football field of Racing Santander. Don Paco’s mottoĭon Paco applied his favourite motto or the first time – “ The market follows the checkered flag” Motorcycles improve day after day thanks to racing.
From this union Montesa was born in 1945, one of the first motorcycle factories in Spain after the Civil War.
His description was simple: “ A young engineer passionate about motorcycles.” Those Words persuaded Permanyer, who did not even think about it for a moment to tell Josep to inform his brother-in-law of the new project – the manufacture of motorcycles. The latter, seeing Permanyer financial aid, told him that he had a brother-in-law who was the owner of an automotive part manufacturing plant. The Permanyer workshop boss was FX’s brother-in-law. That resulted in a private means of transport, an essential element, since after the war people felt the need to buy a simple and economical means of transport to get to work. They had a workshop for the manufacture of gas engines for motor vehicles.Ĭonvinced that, with the end of World War II, fuel supply would be limited, he began to think of a new product – auxiliary motors for bicycles. Parallel to this, the partner of Don Paco was Pere Permanyer Puigjaner, a mercantile expert who was born the 24 of July of 1891, from a family of the upper class of Barcelona. The factory was dedicated to the manufacture of piston rings for combustion engines. The factory, built on a large piece of land of 27,000 sqm that FX Bultó that he got from his father as a gift, was the basis of FX Bultó involvement in the motorcycle industry.
