About company (MEDIR):
Around 1915, a Scotsman who worked in a cork factory in Palamos had observed the large number of Arundo donax reeds that grew around the city. At that time, the cane was used for making baskets in the garden and construction tasks. The Scottish called Smith probably was a player quelqu'instrument and therefore knew his reeds then were made of reeds.

First Smith spoke with a basket maker who used the cane for his work and asked him if he could get the reed very hard to send in Scotland. The weaver then collected samples and Smith gave him an address where to send them. After some discussion by trying different types of cane, basket maker received his first letter from Scotland, in English. At that time, Mr. Smith was no longer in Palamos basket maker and understood nothing of what he was told of Scotland.
One night, during a walk along the Palamos bay, the basket maker was met with his friend, Julio Perxés, who spoke English and, knowing of the existence of the letter he offered to translate.
The text called for a small amount of reed and clean Mr. Perxés took care to answer the letter and to send some samples of good quality. The basket maker was very happy there and left everything in his hands.
Julio Perxés believed in trade possibilities with the provision of reed and began a good cane harvest plan. During the following year, Perxés sent small packages with samples of reed pipes to Glasgow at the same time manufacturers and asked to return the useless reed, soft to obtain knowledge and experience in better quality cane selection .
When Julio Perxés finally decided to start the business he received the collaboration of his brother, Mr. Francisco Medir, and it is unclear why the plant has received the name of Medir instead of Perxés.
This was the beginning of the cane industry in Palamos and with time and experience of these two brothers-they got a high quality selection of the reed. They studied the appropriate soil where the plant was receiving more strength and they got a series of own plantations around the city. As the industry has grown over plantations were implemented and harvesting of cane from other parts of Catalonia gradually became necessary.
Since the 40s, he was the son of Francisco who assumes the continuation of the case, Mr. Lluís Medir who was pushed and grow. Currently his son are the three factory owners though, Verily who is the manager is Carles.
