Zitro is a dream comes true for the whole family. The dream was to build a business that supplies bearings and power transmission elements. It was established in 1992 by Juan Ramón Ortiz and his family. At the start, all members of the family were involved in the business and collaborated in all necessary aspects of the company; from cleaning to management and even working on logistics.
We had nothing to lose. In 1993 we moved to a small pavilion in Erandio. We learnt many things about the industry and worked hard during those intense start-up years. The company continued to grow as time passed. In February of 2009 we moved to our current facilities, about 300 meters from the small pavilion in which we started and continues to be used as a support warehouse.
Thanks to confidence, mutual support, and team work we have a strong presence in the national and international markets. We export to Central America, South America, North Africa, and many other countries. We are world specialists in bearings and machine replacement parts. We have an extensive inventory with all that a company might need to keep efficient production levels.
