What to expect
Corticarte - Arte em Cortica
Cortiçarte – Arte em Cortiça was founded in 2000 and emerged from a vast heritage of its predecessors in the area of working cork and from the know-how acquired over several years of experience. It positions itself in the market as a competitive and innovative company, with the ability to make cork viable and promote, and whose pillars are based on the quality and sustainability of this important raw material. The company is present throughout the entire process, from the extraction of cork from the tree and its treatment, transformation and production of the final product. In this last phase, the final product has infinite potential, being able to be transformed into the most unlikely objects, such as everyday, personal or sporting items, and has an inexhaustible capacity for innovation.
