Our History Since 1854

RIVISA® is the leading Spanish manufacturer and installer of perimeter protection systems and one of the main ones in Europe.

Continuing a long-standing family business tradition that began in 1854, when Francisco Rivière Bonneton introduced chain-link fencing to Spain from England.
