Antoni Amatller Costa (1851-1910), son of Antoni Amatller Ràfols, was the successor of the Chocolates Amatller factory. At the age of 19, recently married, his father and uncle sent him on a training trip abroad, where he visited the main Swiss and French chocolate factories so that he could prepare to take over the business. In 1878, he built a new factory in Sant Martí de Porvençals with the most modern German and French machinery. He incorporated advertising techniques into the company to expand its market. He was a photographer-traveler who toured Morocco (1903), Istanbul (1905) and Egypt (1909) taking photographs, as well as participating in international amateur photography competitions.
