PORTUGAL<br />

It all began in 1955 when Francisco Rocha, father of 8<br />

children and employee in a cork factory for many years,<br />

started a small cork stoppers production. As the family<br />

business grew, his sons started their own cork industries.<br />

In the seventies the 5 cork factories owned by the family<br />

Figueiredo da Rocha were, together, a major producer of<br />

cork stoppers.<br />

It was when the oldest of the brothers, José, thought it was<br />

essential for the family to create value from the cork waste<br />

produced by their factories. So, in 1972, GRANORTE was<br />

founded, aiming to recycle the cork waste from the wine cork<br />

stoppers manufacturing industry.<br />

Since the beginning we have dedicated our attention to<br />

product research and development, resulting on innovative<br />

production processes and technical excellence.<br />

into an expanding producer of technical solutions using<br />

this material. Today, GRANORTE is a leading sustainable<br />

responsible products.
