| The ancient Pelut industrial estate forms a part of the main group of estates on the Middle Ter. Together with Vila-seca and Borgonyà in Sant Vicenç de Torelló
, they make up the most majestic sequence of factories on the river to Osona. Pelut got its name from an old tannery that took advantage of the course of the Ter in a spot known as els plans del Callís in Orís
, very close to the town of Torelló.
