CB Aismalíbar

The origins of the basketball team goes back to the year 1947 [1] when the company Aismalíbar created a social club for its workers.

The employees created a basketball team that was entered in the Trade Union Work of Education and Leisure League.

The Aismalíbar company then made a strong economic investment to make a great team in the 1950s,[2] partly as an advertising medium for business and partly for the great love of basketball grew in the city, hired as a player-coach Eduardo Kucharski, and players of the category of Emiliano Rodriguez,[3] who later would make history at Real Madrid, Francesc Nino Buscató, and center Francisco Borrell, the first player in more than two meters in the history of Spanish basketball.

The Aismalíbar Moncada was champion of Catalonia but failed to win any major national title, but came close to it.

The decline of the club began when the team had to play their games at the Palacio de los Deportes of Barcelona, and not on its track Montcada, because the new rules forced to dispute parties in indoor arenas, and the company Aismalíbar he could not afford the costs involved cover track of your social club.
