ANTÓNIO FREITAS CARVALHO & FILHAS LDA is dedicated to the production of apparel for men, women and children.
Founded in 1987 by António Carvalho, this company is located in Mascotelos – Guimarães –, right in the well-known heart of the textile cluster of Vale do Ave, famous for its tradition and know-how in the textile industry. Since its birth, the company perfected its methods of production of underwear, accumulating years of experience in producing and selling these products. Throughout the years, the company developed and increased its portfolio with the production of outdoor apparel.
In line with the spirit of this textile cluster, ANTÓNIO FREITAS CARVALHO has been consistently strengthening its commercial relations with its partners, seeking the sustainable growth of the company and its stakeholders.
Whilst traditionally oriented to the Portuguese market, in 2007 the company received fresh impetus to its growth with the new managing team, Alcina Carvalho and Manuela Carvalho, who have initiated the internationalization of the company, reaching out new markets, such as France, Finland, England and Germany.
Alcina and Manuela have been consistently putting emphasis on the improvement of the company’s internal processes and on the recruitment of qualified personnel, investing on the training of its workforce, modernization of the productive infrastructures, always focusing on complying with market’s demands and with the usual standards of quality and excellence of the company.
