Barcelona, 1932, the son of Ramón Jané Caúm, Manel Jané Vidal, changed the focus of the business when his son was born. “If you’re such a good locksmith, if you have so many ideas for others, prove that you also have them for your son.” Encouraged by his father, Manel Jané accepted the challenge and, after just a few days, baby Ramón went out on wheels, in an unnamed pram but one for which Manel Jané felt extremely proud. The admiration that it caused among friends and neighbours encouraged him to build a couple of pushchairs, which even folded up, and he showed them to one of Barcelona’s department stores. The first orders followed a week later. JANÉ began to manufacture folding pushchairs for children.
