Amorim & Irmaos S.A.

Company Description

Corticeira Amorim is the largest world producer of cork products and the most international of Portuguese companies. With almost 150 years as the industry leader, it distinguishes itself by its quality, enterprise, innovation and ability to anticipate and respond to market needs.

A unique organisation for promoting cork and ensuring the subsequent conservation of cork oak forests, Corticeira Amorim is at the forefront of industry, technology and sustainability.

Amorim is the largest producer and supplier of cork stoppers worldwide and in whom the main wine producers place their trust. The experience of around a century and a half of activity and a development/innovation standing provide a unique guarantee of confidence in the supply of quality products.

The company began as a small cork stopper factory, established in 1870 in the heart of the Port wine region. The proximity of the wine producers soon contributed to creating business relationships, anticipating client needs and swiftly meeting their requests. Four generations later, this continues to be the strategy which consolidates the company's leadership in the sector.

The Amorim name and centuries of experience have generated dozens of new companies which currently comprise Corticeira Amorim's Cork Stoppers Business Unit. It has subsidiaries in key wine producing countries, from the old European continent to the new markets in South Africa, Australia and South America. It sells to over 15,000 active clients in 82 countries and is a benchmark among the most renowned wine producers.
