Costa Verde was established in 1992, by being one of the most modern companies in its activity sector, across the European space. This porcelain producer exports around 75% of its production towards the European Union and to countries such as Denmark, Switzerland, USA, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Korea, Japan and Angola.
This is possible due to a huge investment across all production areas. Costa Verde bets on the purchase of modern equipment and on the concreteness of effective processes. It holds social awareness always on site, by demonstrating an enormous respect towards the environment.
Social awareness and work conditions at Costa Verde

The fulfilment of social regulations and the due respect for ethical values are something that the company does not renounce. Also considered as primary goals, are the investments across personal valuation of the employees, the respect for the community and environmental protection.
