Our story begins in 1936 in the heart of Portugal, in Covilhã, a city shaped by mountains and tradition, known as the “Portuguese Manchester”.
This is where the country's wool industry was born, where large flocks of sheep, clean and soft water and generations of skilled hands came together to transform wool into art.
For over four centuries, wool manufacturing has been the soul of this region. From generation to generation this knowhow has grown, refined and endured.
Today, Paulo de Oliveira, proudly carries this heritage forward as the most important ambassador of Portuguese wool worldwide.
Under one roof, we create fabric from its very beginning from fiber to finish, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing each step guided by precision, innovation and passion.
We are one of Portugal's leading textile companies, exporting to all continents and recognized as a global reference in quality and comfort Fabrics.
Our secret lies in our constant pursuit of excellence combining tradition with cutting edge technology, to produce fabrics that are not only beautiful but functional, sustainable and made to last.
At Paulo de Oliveira, we believe in responsible management and in honoring our roots .
Most of our energy comes from the sun.
We reuse our water.
We treat every drop, every fiber, every resource with respect.
Sustainability is not just part of what we do, it's part of who we are.
From recycled materials to eco efficient production, every choice we make reflects our commitment to the future.
From Covilhã to the world.
