Corticeira Amorim is the world’s largest cork processing group and makes an unparalleled contribution to the business, market, economy, innovation and the sustainability of the entire cork industry.
Founded in 1870, the company soon realised the infinite potential of this 100% natural raw material, transforming it into a widely-appreciated object in the context of an open, curious, alert, informed and prosperous society.
Corticeira Amorim has made unprecedented investments in research & development, innovation and design, perfecting a portfolio of products, objects and solutions with high added value.
When António Alves de Amorim built his first cork stopper factory in 1870, in Vila Nova de Gaia, he surely never imagined that this modest entrepreneurial gesture formed the embryo of what was to become, 150 years later, the world’s biggest cork transformation group. Successive generations of employees have always shared, defended and preserved the core values of Corticeira Amorim, which have underpinned this extraordinary story, filled with challenges, obstacles and achievements.
Add value to cork, in an ethical, competitive, distinctive and innovative way that is in perfect harmony with Nature.
