Ramón
Manzana S.L.

Our history starts in 1963 when Ramón Manzana, farmer and picker, realised that the shears to pick citrus fruits that both himself and his colleagues were using, were not the most suitable to perform a good job.

His entrepreneur character led him to manufacture with his hands and in a complete artisan way his first shears. This first shears was welcomed with enthusiasm by all his colleagues who asked him to make some the same for them, therefore marking the guidelines of what later on would be the company’s trademark: The development and manufacture of shears for the picking of fruit that would fully satisfy their users.

Our interest for marketing high-quality products that provide solutions to the market needs, led us in 1995 to develop the first shears with curved blades. A new step was given in the manufacturing philosophy, by pooling together a comfortable tool for the picker with the need of reducing the damages caused to the fruit during the picking process. With it, we managed for citrus fruit producers to achieve a reduction of the fruit waste.

As a result of this collaboration, in the past few years, we have marketed a significant amount of shears for the picking of citrus fruits, each of which intends to solve specific problems of each sector, which have been extremely well received.
We have recently collaborated with the Valencian Institute for Agricultural Research (IVIA), an official body known worldwide, on a study to know the different degree of improvement in the damage caused by the use of an appropriate citrus fruit harvesting shear.

Our desire of continuously improving has also led us to investigate and develop shears with a greater performance for the picker. Proof of it is our range of adjustable scissors or shears. With this system, we achieve eliminating one of the major problems that pickers had to face, such as the play suffered by tools due to intensive use. With this new system, the picker can eliminate it with a quarter turn of the nut, thus achieving a totally adjusted tool ready to continue working with the utmost precision.

At Ramón Manzana S.L., we continue investigating, testing and developing new products that make the future of professional harvesting more productive.
