5 Our history years Grupo Adagio was founded more than forty years ago as a family business that started as a music store in Barcelona. This business gradually included exclusive musical instrument brands in its catalogue, until it became a distribution company for the whole of Spain. This is how our family business came to be a dealer for such major brands as Casio or Samick. More than thirty years later, these manufacturers still trust us to distribute their products. Committed to our intention of reaching every instrument sales channels, Grupo Adagio has successfully placed its products in large consumption centres such as El Corte Inglés and Toys R us. In 1990, our company store division purchased Unión Musical, the largest chain of music shops in Spain, specialising in classical instruments. Already a leader in the musical instrument industry, Grupo Adagio opened its Adagio Pro professional division through the purchase of the company Alberdi Pro, a dealer for Martin Audio, among other brands.

In 2014, Grupo Adagio made the jump to the Italian market and went on to become the Behringer dealer for the whole of Italy.
