TÊXTIL NORTENHA HAS NEW SHOWROOM

A renovated and wide showroom area is the New Year gift that Têxtil Nortenha gave itself, thus concluding a renovation package undertook throughout 2019. Evaluated in 150 thousand euro, all the construction followed a 100% green principle, and stemmed from Nortenha’s permanent adjustment to the market’s circumstances.

Of the approximately 12 thousand m² that it once had, now the company only needs two thousand m², choosing, therefore, to concentrate its operation within a more efficient layout, while making profitable use of the unoccupied areas. The new showroom is joined by a new laboratory where knits are tested, which moved from a distant first floor to be side-by-side with the commercial and manufacturing areas.

“We are gathering in the same space all the company’s sectors, which will only be separated by glass walls. Every week we receive customers over, which will necessarily go through the manufacturing and sewing working areas. What is being brought down on one side is being reassembled in another. Everything, even the doors and joints. Instead of squandering more resources, we are recycling every material”, explained Paulo Branco, CEO of Empresa Têxtil Nortenha, at the time construction started.

Led by the brothers Paulo and Inês Branco, Têxtil Nortenha has its main activity on the production of circular knitwear. The factory, located in Famalicão, employs 78 workers and closed 2018 with a turnover close to 7.3 million euro, of which 100% were exported.
