NAD was founded in Mollet del Vallès in 1973.

It was in 1973 when the company NAD was born in a small workshop in Mollet del Vallès (Barcelona), Jaume Xicola Gascón begins to manufacture motorcycle seats for local brands such asDERBI, MOTORHISPANIA, MOTO VESPA, MONTESA, SANGLAS, etc.
During the 80’s, we already started collaborating with the Spanish subsidiaries of global brands such as HONDA, YAMAHA and SUZUKI.

In the 1990s we began to collaborate with international companies. PEUGEOT, MBK and BMW will be the first customers outside our borders.

In 1992 in NAD we started a new adventure, creating our own brand SHAD to start selling in the Aftermarket, which in its beginnings will manufacture accessories for motorcycles and bicycles.

At the end of 1994, a new challenge arrived for NAD: to develop and produce OEM cases for one of the most “premium” brands in the industry. Together with BMW we started the project and production of our first OEM case for their iconic R1200C model. Since then, it was decided that the company’s vision would focus on international business expansion.

At the NAD facilities in Barcelona, we maintain the production of 70% of our turnover, giving importance to process control and our own technological development. Our subsidiary countries collect the rest of the production, 25% in China and 5% in Indonesia, which has enabled us to have presence in more than 80 countries around the world.

Nowadays, in NAD we have made a leap to the second generation with Jaume Xicola Serrano at the head, and now we face the new challenges of this globalized world where personal mobility is going to change worldwide.

With more than 50 years of experience, NAD is today a world leader in the manufacture of motorcycle seats, cases and accessories for the most prestigious international brands.
