AMORIM GROUP – A SUCCESS STORY

The origins of the Amorim Group date back to 1870, with the founding of a small family-owned factory to produce cork stoppers for the wine industry.
More than a century later, the Amorim Group’s activity is substantially different: they’ve diversified, they’ve gone international and they have become thoroughly professional. Even so, they maintain the timeless principles which are fundamental to the sustainable development of any activity: forceful entrepreneurialism, the permanent search for innovation, a strategic long-term vision, solidity, rigour in current management and the efficient use of resources, with emphasis on developing human resources.

The Amorim Group holds the position of world leaders in the cork industry, the activity which still constitutes their core business today, despite the diversification of their business into areas such as real estate, tourism, telecommunications, textiles and, most recently, activities linked to the production of high quality natural products, for example, Port wine and table wines.

In 2005, the Amorim Group reorganised their portfolio of businesses and assets, and are currently recentering their interests in CORTICEIRA AMORIM and AMORIM DESENVOLVIMENTO, a holding company set up to analyse and follow up new business opportunities.
