Juan Carlos Mariano, tradition and mastery to make handmade furniture

The Andalusian Council has awarded Juan Carlos Mariano the Artisan Mastercard. It was the reward for more than three decades working as a cabinetmaker. After school, he used to help his father, who was also a carpenter, grinding mouldings. Juan Carlos is from Valverde del Camino, in Huelva, and directs JUCAL, his company, which is one of the most important carpentry businesses in this town, which has a long tradition in this sector. His next challenge is to export his handmade furniture outside Spain.
