General information

Short Summary
A well-established Portuguese textile manufacturer, with over 70 years of expertise, offers high-quality, sustainable, and innovative knit and woven garment production for men, women and children. The company is seeking new partners for long-term manufacturing agreements, providing bespoke design, sourcing, and private label solutions for the premium segment.
Full Description
This Portuguese company, founded in 1954, specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of apparel using both circular knit and woven fabrics. With a strong heritage and a second-generation management, the company has built a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and outstanding product quality.
The manufacturer serves the upper segment of the market, focusing on fashion-forward, contemporary solutions that combine tradition with innovation. Their in-house design team leverages the latest technologies and a wide selection of high-quality materials, offering comprehensive services from concept to delivery.
Clients benefit from a full spectrum of services, including trend research, material sourcing, CAD development, prototyping, and specialized production lines for a variety of garments such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, shirts, blouses, dresses, skirts, trousers, jogging suits and jackets.
Sustainability is a core value, reflected in the company’s environmental and social responsibility initiatives, use of renewable energy, and certifications including GOTS, GRS, BCI, SEDEX, and SEAQUAL. The manufacturer’s laboratory is accredited by Bureau Veritas UK, ensuring rigorous quality control and compliance with international standards.
Thanks to a flexible and responsive production process, the company can deliver samples within 5 working days and ensure reliable lead times for bulk orders. While the company is equipped to handle a variety of order sizes, it is especially suited to partners whose projects require a certain scale of production, with a flexible minimum order policy of 150 garments per colour.
The Portuguese firm wants to find more genuine opportunities for their clothing solutions to find their way onto new markets and grow the international side of their business and is therefore seeking to establish long-term manufacturing agreements with partners who are looking for a quality one-stop manufacturer.
