Costa Verde was founded in 1992 and based on a completely innovative philosophy by inviting the industry and the main Portuguese distributors to participate in its social capital. This idea turned out to be a great success because it considerably strengthened the ties between manufacturing and distribution. In this traditional business sector and with many obstacles to entry in the market - a quicker penetration of their products has led to a strong implementation of the company in the national market resulting in Costa Verde becoming a well-known brand in Portugal.
The factory is located in the district of Aveiro, and occupies a covered area of 30.000 m2 plus an available area for expansion of over 60.000 m2.
The company has qualified human resources and is permanently committed to the training of its personnel and the updating of its processes. For this reason, Costa Verde occupies an effective position in the markets where it operates and its business model is clearly customer orientated.
Most of Costa Verde’s ranges are designed by the world renowned London based design house Studio Levien.
