MANY IDEAS ARE BORN OUT OF SMALL COINCIDENCES…
1981
In 1981, AF Azevedos was founded, the company that created the brand Bplan.
AF Azevedos, a company with over 40 years’ experience in the metalworking sector, began its activity with the production of moulds, dies and cutters.
Later on, with the growing bet on technologically advanced equipments, AF Azevedos increased its production capacity, extending its activity to the treatment of sheet metal and electromechanical machinery execution.
2009
In the leftover material from AF Azevedos’ production, namely from the laser cutting process, there were patterns and shapes that aroused the interest of the company’s managers…
We could see the potential and formal richness of that material, whose useful life was coming to an end and with which new products could be born…
… and so Bplan was born.
2014
In 2014, AF Azevedos decided to move premises to Rua dos Perdões, in Vila Nova de Famalicão.
With approximately 5 years of existence, Bplan began to explore and communicate its potential around the world, participating in national and international fairs.
2019
Com cerca de 5 anos de existência, a Bplan começou a explorar e a comunicar as suas potencialidades por todo o mundo, participando em feiras nacionais e internacionais.
2021
In 2021, Bplan, already with over 10 years of experience in the development and production of unique metal solutions, decides to explore once again the potential of metal and invest in a new field of action – the creation of its own design product, ready to integrate a space.
As a result of this creation and already having some presence in marketplaces, Bplan decided to invest in a new touchpoint by creating its own e-commerce platform. So far, we’ve made all your new creations available online, simply and efficiently.
Currently, AF Azevedos has two production units with a total covered area of more than 12,000 m2. This makes it possible to offer a finished solution by carrying out a wide range of services such as laser cutting, punching, bending, polishing, welding, calendering and thermolacquering.
