The Home and Building Materials sectors have increasingly focused on the development of products, that incorporate design and customisation, to differentiate themselves in the international markets. The focus on the customer and exclusivity are mirrored in the MADE IN PORTUGAL naturally campaign that has been developed by AICEP – Portuguese Trade & Investment Agency, to promote the excellent product range.

These sectors bring together almost 20,000 Portuguese companies, employing more than 150,000 people. They export to more than 180 countries, which recognise their ability to adapt the product to the customer's needs and their capacity to surprise, as the result of product innovation and audacity, ensuring exclusive and personalised demand.

"The relentless search for tailor-made solutions that offer exactly what the customer is looking for, while maintaining quality, functionality and authenticity, shows that Portuguese companies are increasingly customer-oriented, competitive and performing at a high level internationally," says Luís Castro Henriques, CEO of AICEP.

There are several attributes that distinguish the MADE IN PORTUGAL range, and, to all of them, we add the expertise for tailor-made production and the willingness to establish unique relationships with clients, who seek differentiation through the exclusivity of each piece.
