The Timeless Story of Paulo de Oliveira

In 1936, in the picturesque town of Covilhã, the family firm Paulo de Oliveira was born.

The town, lying in the mountain region of Serra da Estrela, has always been an ideal place for processing wool. Flocks of merino sheep, with their roots on the Iberian Peninsula, provided the finest raw material, while timber and quality water flowing down from the mountain slopes created ideal conditions for the development of hand-crafted woollen goods.

The Paulo de Oliveira group has become a key custodian of this rich tradition. As a vertically integrated company that produces everything from fibre to finished fabric under one roof, it encompasses spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing alike. Today it is one of the most significant firms in the Portuguese textile industry, and its products travel to every continent.

The defining values at the heart of Paulo de Oliveira are passion for the product, quality and innovation. The company continually invests in the most modern technology and is a global leader in the production of woollen fabrics.

Paulo de Oliveira continues to write its story with passion, quality and a strong emphasis on sustainability. With deep roots in tradition, driven by innovation and responsible production, this family firm remains a leading player in the textile market, creating fabrics for the contemporary world with an eye on the future.
