The sea is our raison d'etre. Castro is our family name, and generation after generation we have been linked to life at sea. In 1970 we embarked on this venture, launching a brand specialising in the design and manufacture of floats for the fishing and fishfarming industries, as well as fenders and buoys for sailing, yachting and water sports. We are currently one of the largest manufacturers in the world, exporting to more than 70 countries. CASTRO © © ® ® MARINE FISHING AQUA- WATER CULTURE SPORTS

It took Carlos Castro over a month to make his first float. An entire month to understand how a machine that had been delivered without any instructions worked. An entire month to invest all his knowledge of chemistry into obtaining an ideal mix of plastics. One month, one float. Manufacturing floats was not Carlos’ profession. However, one day it would be and he would end up being a market leader but, at the time, in the early 1970s, the story had only just begun. The fragility of the aluminium and glass floats used at the time and the fact that they did not last long at all was a constant...

Once they had worked out how to handle the machine, they manufactured their first series of floats but found that there was an issue: they only needed 300 units and the machine could produce between 4,000 and 5,000 floats a month. They decide to go ahead with manufacture regardless. They knew they were on to something special, that they had managed to make floats that were not available on the market and that they were more durable than most. They knew all this because they were benefiting from all the advantages in their very own fleet. It wasn’t long before the other fishermen in Pasajes...

♦ SPECIAL MARK EM SERIES Safety in bathing areas. SPECIAL MARK LP SERIES The practice of marking out bathing areas with buoys stems from the need to provide bathers and swimmers with a safe area on beaches. By law, these areas consist of a 200-metrewide strip running parallel to the water's edge. Sailing is not permitted except in specially designated access lanes. Along other areas of the coast, safety areas are 50 metres wide. The sailing prohibition applies to boats of all kinds including sailing boats and motor-powered vessels. It is essential that these areas are adequately marked with...

Fish farming - a sustainable future. Sustainability on Earth means combining traditional industrial fishing techniques with new fish farming techniques. Fifty percent of all fish for consumption on a worldwide scale is currently sourced from fish farms. This was unimaginable just a decade ago. The future of the fishing industry lies in interaction between wild fish caught using traditional fishing techniques and fish bred on fish farms.
