It was founded on the basis of the merger in 1997 of the PIMEC and SEFES associations, which united their efforts to create a single, strong and fully representative employers’ association. It represents all the SMEs of Catalonia and has individual members and over 300 collective members, such as guilds and commercial associations.

Recasens, gave the initial impulse to the project. The founding group’s archaeological investigations of Palafrugell and its surrounding district produced the Museum’s principal initial collections.
