Agreement between Coelima and Coteminas for the Distribution of Textile Products in the European Market

The Portuguese company Coelima Indústrias Têxteis, S.A.—and owner of Dalmases—and the Brazilian Companhia de Tecidos do Norte de Minas (Coteminas) have reached an agreement for the distribution of the latter’s products in the European market.
Coteminas, Brazil’s largest home textile company, was chosen as the “Brazilian company of the year” in 2004 by the magazine Dinheiro. It registered sales revenues of 524 million euros last year. Up to now, it had only set its sights on the South American market, where it has a strong presence. On the other hand, Coelima, with operations based in Guimarães (Portugal), is one of Europe’s largest home textile companies. It operates on the European market with its registered trademarks, with Dalmases among them.

For Coelima, this is an important venture that it has decided to back to the hilt. Towards this end, it has made investments worth 1.6 million euros in its logistics centre in Guimarães. This modern facility is equipped with computer systems that are networked with its European subsidiaries, which enables the timely, efficient and reliable distribution of its products and now those of Coteminas in Portugal and abroad.
The agreement between these two companies will be advantageous for consumers, giving them a greater assortment of home textile products able to meet the needs of all market segments at very competitive prices.

Dalmases, a Catalan company founded in 1912 with an extensive catalogue of home linens, is the exclusive distributor of Coteminas’ products in the Spanish market, to which it now adds the competitive range of Coteminas.
