Carbel Receives Award in Recognition of 50 Years at Fuente del Jarro

On October 15th, the Valencia Conference Centre hosted a very special event: the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Fuente del Jarro Industrial Park. This event not only highlighted the historical and economic significance of this industrial hub but also served to recognize the companies that have been part of its development, including Carbel.

For half a century, Fuente del Jarro has transformed an agricultural area into one of Valencia’s most dynamic economic engines. Today, it is home to more than 430 companies and 10,000 workers. This impressive growth was celebrated at an event filled with business leaders, officials, and over 600 attendees who applauded the achievements of these companies.

Carbel five decades of innovation and leadership in the stove and fireplace industry

Carbel, as one of the key players and an active participant in this industrial park, was honored at the event. Known for its innovation and leadership in the stove and fireplace industry, Carbel has proven to be a fundamental pillar in the growth and innovation of the area.

The ceremony featured speeches from prominent figures such as Carlos Mazón, President of the Valencian Government, and Juan Antonio Sagredo, Mayor of Paterna, who both emphasized the importance of Fuente del Jarro as a strategic industrial center. Additionally, the event included a keynote presentation on business innovation and adaptability by Amuda Goueli, co-founder and CEO of Destinia.

The highlight of the event came when Carbel and other companies marking five decades in the industrial park were specially recognized, celebrating not only their longevity but also their ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing environment.

This recognition reflects not only the past but also looks towards the future, a future where Carbel continues to play a crucial role in the local and regional economic dynamism.

The celebration concluded with a cocktail reception, where ties were strengthened, and future collaborations were planned, ensuring that Fuente del Jarro’s legacy will continue to grow.

At Carbel, we look towards the future with a commitment to staying at the forefront, ensuring that each of our products is synonymous with durability, efficiency, and cutting-edge design. We will continue working to provide our customers with the warmth and comfort that only Carbel can offer, year after year.

Importance of the firewood

The use of renewable sources of energy is a positive gesture for the planet. In addition to being a renewable energy source, firewood does not contribute to the greenhouse effect when burnt. Nevertheless, not all kinds of firewood have the same heating qualities. We can distinguish between two main types of wood:

Hardwoods

Coming from slow-growth trees such as oak, beech, ash, cherry, maple, chestnut, olive, elm, etc., this wood is slow-burning and offers high heating characteristics. Such wood is ideal for keeping the fire going over time, burning with a clear and continuous flame.

Softwoods

Coming from trees from the conifer family, such as fir, cedar, birch, alder, etc. Ignite rapidly and can be used to light or relight a fire. It is better to avoid the use of resinous woods such as firs, pines, etc., as they contain resins that cause smoke and blacken fireplace and wood stove glazing.

Firewood

Use larger pieces of firewood for slower burning, when less heat is needed, or for maintaining the fire overnight. Always load large pieces after the fire has been burning strongly with smaller pieces, when the unit is already at a high temperature. Smaller pieces of firewood should be used to achieve a more strongly burning fire. Load them after starting the fire for a faster response, when more heat output is desired.

Moisture

The lower the moisture content, the greater is the energy efficiency. Good heat output and energy efficiency is closely related to the moisture level of the firewood. It is very important that the firewood to be used has been dried for two to three years and stored in a well-ventilated place. Recommended maximum moisture level – 21%.  

How to recognize dry firewood

  • Cracks can be seen on the surface of the trunk or branch
  • The bark easily comes off
  • A dry sound is heard when striking the wood
