History
The company was initially founded in 1900 when Canado Almazora started selling horse-driven carriages under Carroceria de Almazora. Later in 1925, Perfecto Almazora, the son of Canado took over the company and started building passenger buses under the Almazora Motor Corporation (AMC) brand. One of their well known products was the Jardinera, a wooden bus with seven long benches in rows and two entry points.Products
Besides their own buses Almazora Motors builds bus bodies for other international manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Fuso Track and Bus Corporation, Man Truck & Bus, Isuzu, Mercedes-Benz, Hino Motors. They also build the "Family Business" (FB) variant of the Mitsubishi L300 van.
