Talleres Loring (Loring Workshops) was a Spanish aeronautical company founded by engineer and entrepreneur Jorge Loring after moving to Madrid.
A predecessor company, Loring Pujol y Cia, had been founded in Barcelona by Jorge Loring together with Claudio Baradat Guillé in 1918.
The new company established its factory in Cuatro Vientos, Carabanchel, in SW Madrid in 1923 and began production in 1924. It soon received orders to manufacture military aircraft, beginning with Fokker C.IV planes. Later Talleres Loring would build some of Juan de la Cierva's autogyro prototypes, such as the Cierva C.7 and Cierva C.12.
Talleres Loring also would produce its own aircraft, mostly designed by engineer Eduardo Barrón, such as the Loring R-1, the Loring R-2 and the Loring R-3 airplanes. Overwhelmed by the large financial cost of its projects, in 1931 Jorge Loring rejoined the government service. Three years later, in 1934, the Talleres Loring company filed for bankruptcy. Jorge Loring was bailed out by his brother and founded Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. (AISA), which also manufactured aircraft for military use, and where he was found dead on 22 September 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
The Loring RB surveillance aircraft, a monoplane prototype said to have been built right at the beginning in 1923, and the T-2 are developments about which there are almost no data.
