Grupfantastic, a success story since 1989. It was born in the Aribau 184 street in Barcelona in order to modernize the way of renting video films and to implement a new business model through automatic kiosks.

During the first four years we created and tested the specific Know How for the future commercialization of the system and in 1993 we signed the collaboration and distribution agreement of the Kiosks with the most advanced manufacturer, Videosystem Italia SRL Our success was unquestionable and in a few years we managed to install more than 2,500 Kiosks with our CINEBANK brand. And among our main clients it was worth highlighting BLOCKBUSTER and BOOM VIDEO.

The result of the close collaboration between Grupfantastic and Videosystem were the development and obtaining of key patents for expansion and, above all, differentiation from competitors, such as the 2x1 system for the transition from VHS to DVD format without modifying the Kiosk or the vinyl printing of circular barcodes for DVD.

Likewise, with the collaboration of the prestigious design studio Syntehesis Design, the new ergonomic and rounded image of Kiosks for the 21st century was created.

The close collaboration between our marketing and graphic design departments and the company Aplica was also very important in the creation and implementation of the CINEBANK corporate image, fully modular in both exterior signage and interior furniture. What allowed us to fully operationalize a business in just 48 hours.

From these lines, our most sincere thanks to all the human team, both commercial and technical, that was involved in our project supporting the traditional video store and new entrepreneurs to implement our CINEBANK concept with the best result. During these years our team was present at all the fairs of the sector.

Continuing with our passion for design and innovation, our IT specialists, together with those from Videosystem, managed to develop in what was possibly the first online videocassette rental service in the world, which allowed us to select the title preferred by the network or by mobile phone and collect it through CINEBANK.

Our collaboration with Videosystem still continues and in 2010, as a result of studies on how to optimize the delivery of medicines to patients in pharmacies, based on the size of the pharmacy, quantity of medicines dispensed and waiting times, was born PHARMASELF24 for automated 24/7 delivery prescriptions to patients. Zero waiting.

In 2020, the more than 500 PHARMASELF24 installed in the Netherlands, UK, Ireland and the first units in the USA are contributing in a very positive way to prevent the spread of Covid 19 by allowing the collection of medicines from abroad and keeping the safety distance.

Continuing with our passion for design and the environment, we established a close collaboration with the prestigious architecture studios LUV Studio and AVI, as well as the interior design firm Espacialista.

Together, we created a new department specialized in the construction of sustainable houses with high energy efficiency, designed for the post-COVID way of life. Modern and with large and connected spaces to be able to work at home and have an indoor / outdoor life, with garages to have various means of movement and equipped with charging points for electric vehicles.

Without forgetting the restoration / rehabilitation of old apartments or urban spaces to turn them into modern homes, improving their energy efficiency and comfort, redistributing the spaces to adapt them to the requirements of new lifestyles.
