HISTORY

In 1962 he established the business under his name Plácido Díaz, Inc. The corporation was registered with the Department of State on July 19, 1962. In the beginning, it manufactured pool tables and placed them on a percentage basis throughout the island. Then it added the sale of vending machines and commercial and cafeteria refrigeration equipment.

It is in 1982 that Josean begins to work with his father, initially in the manufacture of tables, then he moves on to equipment deliveries and finally in 1987 where he begins to take charge of the sales and administration of the corporation.

By the end of the decade, they began to import tables produced in the United States. Here we began to develop the market for pool tables with elegant finishes and very different from what was known in Puerto Rico without leaving aside the quality of the game, which is by far superior. It is in 1993, in Las Vegas, Nevada that we began our relationship with Brunswick Billiards "World leaders in billiards since 1845" Company that we are honored to be your distributors for Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean and with which we have had many years of excellent business, relationship and above all with many satisfied clients. From 2004 to 2007 we were recognized with the JM Brunswick Founder's Award of Excellence in recognition for being among the top 10 in international sales.

In September 2012 and on our 50th anniversary, we returned to be part of Plácido Díaz, Inc now DBA Juega Billar.

The task has not been easy, but we have the satisfaction of being able to bring quality products and services to the homes of our island as well as the family unity that we need so much today.
