Somelos

Somelos was founded in 1958 as Sociedade Teixeira de Melo e Filhos Lda., initially dedicated to the production of yarns and, later, to the production of cotton fabrics. In 1971, the company changed its name to Indústrias Têxteis Somelos SA and became a corporation. Not long after, in 1974, the Dyeing and Finishing business areas became active, and Somelos became a vertically integrated company. In the early 1990s, 12 companies were created, all under the same holding company – Somelos SGPS – owned by the founder's family. All companies are located in a private industrial park covering 300,000 square meters, which includes various social infrastructures for employees. Somelos looks to the future by developing its activity in demanding and constantly evolving business areas, in order to continue serving its customers as it has done for the past 50 years.
