Francesc Xavier Bultó Marquès (

In the first company, Permanyer was the businessman and manager, and Bultó had experience with motorcycles. They produced light bikes with two-stroke engines, which outperformed heavier English bikes with four-stroke engines. In 1958, the Spanish government demanded some cuts from industry, and Permanyer wanted to abandon the sport-bike branch. Bultó coined his famous motto "market follows the chequered flag" and left the company. Together with some former employees, he started his own venture called Bultaco. The first model, Bultaco Tralla 101, came to the market 1959. The bikes were manufactured at Bultó family farm, and his children acted as test drivers for all prototypes.^[5] Francisco Xavier Bultó died on 5 August 1998, at age 86.
