The Vapor Aymerich, Amat i Jover, constructed between 1907 and 1908, is a historic textile factory located on the Rambla d'Ègara de Terrassa, declared a national cultural heritage. Initially rented from Josep Ros, the group decided to construct their own vapor.
The factory accommodated the entire process of transforming wool (carding, weaving, and finishing) in 1915. 400 people worked in the factory in 1915. Following the death of Francesc Jover in 1912, his widow decided to separate from the industrial company - which became Aymerich i Amat - though she did not separate from the real estate.
The factory was affected by the floods of 1962. The factory closed in 1976, but it was rehabilitated as the seat of the Museu Nacional de Ciència i Tècnica de Catalunya in 1983.
