MADE IN PORTUGAL NATURALLY

From Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency

We would like to thank 3lite for collaborating with us in the organization of a networking event to promote Portuguese sustainable products. Under the theme Made in Portugal naturally, we had the opportunity to exhibit high quality products from companies such as Amorim and Vista Alegre, among others.

Sustainable practices have long been adopted by Portuguese industries which translate into products that preserve our natural resources. Nothing illustrates better this concept than cork, a natural resource so intrinsically Portuguese, with its unique characteristics and diverse applications. Amorim, one of the companies present in this event, is the world largest producer of cork products, including cork flooring and composites. SUS Design presented the Portuguese sustainable Forest chair, with a distinct design, and in reference to the Portuguese forest eco-system.

Portuguese design is the engine that creates stunning and functional works that brings beauty and enhances the quality of life. Vista Alegre is the epitome of the Portuguese ceramic industry that has been defying the times by elevating several centuries old tradition of ceramic making into one of the most renowned and prestigious brands in the world. Isabel Pavão, a Portuguese artist, has exhibited her amazing technique and beautiful paintings in galleries and museums all over the world.

This partnership with 3lite was indeed a great opportunity for us to meet and talk about our products and raise awareness about the Portuguese offer in a very professional and welcoming environment. We are particularly grateful to Deborah O’Neill for all the efforts in putting together an amazing event.
