WHO WE ARE

The company benefits for being located at Vale do Ave, a region in the north of Portugal known for its textile industrial heritage since the 19th century.
It is a family company built upon 20 years of manufacturing experience and dedication to the textile industry by their CEO prior to its establishment.
Lopes & Carvalho manufactures Men, Women and Children’s clothing and accessories. The company is specialized on jersey and fleece garments, but it also offers woven garments, knitwear, socks and home textiles by maintaining a very close partnership with several local companies.
