Creativity in the face of need In those days, entrepreneurs could not easily access bank loans, so Salvador used his creativity and built the factory following the system used in Venice. That is, the factory was built almost in the river, on the caves that can still be seen today and through which access was possible from the lagoons to the interior of the factory. The fact is that the talk of the townspeople who thought that the factory would go downstream with the first flood was wrong. He built the kiln to bake the plaster a few meters further down, also near the river. His creativity helped him find formulas to load the raw material into the lagoons cheaply and quickly to facilitate its transport, which is what he really lived on. With large pipes made of material, he was able to directly load stones from a quarry in El Figueral into the interior of the llagut. The Industrial Process The Benifallet gypsum factory not only produced gypsum, but was also a pioneer in the use of river transport to distribute its product. The gypsum was produced in the factory and then transported to Tortosa by llaguts, a type of traditional boat on the Ebro River. This method of transport was very efficient for the time, as it allowed large quantities of gypsum to be moved with relative ease. Economic and Social Impact The establishment of the gypsum factory had a profound impact on the economy of Benifallet and the surrounding areas. It created jobs and stimulated other sectors, such as transport and local trade. It also contributed to the development of local infrastructure, as the demand for plaster promoted the construction of buildings and other structures. His factory would be the pioneer, but it was not the only one. The plaster industry ended up bringing many jobs to Benifallet in that post-war era with the launch of several plaster quarries and factories (Clots de Martín, Jaume dels Clots, El Rebolé, Antonio de la Campana and others that had a very short life because road transport had already arrived. Evolution and Legacy Over time, the plaster factory in Benifallet evolved, adapting to technological and market changes. Although it is no longer in operation today, its legacy lives on in the industrial history of the region and in the collective memory of the inhabitants of Benifallet.
