Industrial Cork Processing Complex - Immediately Operational and Ready for Production

Strategically situated in the Gavião Industrial Zone of Portalegre, this fully equipped industrial facility offers an exceptional opportunity within Portugal’s prominent cork industry. Located just 160 km from Lisbon with direct access via the A1 motorway and within 15 minutes of the A23, it provides seamless connectivity to Spain, facilitating efficient export routes.

Spanning a total land area of 25,510 m², including 6,430 m² of covered facilities and 19,080 m² of paved outdoor space, the complex is designed for optimal industrial throughput. Emphasizing sustainability, the site features an advanced wastewater treatment plant (ETAR), energy-efficient boiling tanks, a comprehensive fire prevention system with dual water wells, and innovative biomass reuse through cork residues converted into renewable energy. The expansive outdoor area is primed for future renewable energy installations, such as solar panels.

The modern, functional infrastructure includes a dedicated administrative zone comprising a quality control laboratory, medical station, meeting room, two offices, bathrooms, and extra storage. Employee amenities feature shower-equipped locker rooms and a full-service dining hall, fostering a comfortable working environment.

Production facilities are divided across two main pavilions: the primary building hosts a storage area, cork grinding station, boiling and sterilization units, and a production line capable of manufacturing three cork product models. The secondary pavilion is equipped with additional grinding and molding machinery, sterilizers, a fire prevention system, power station, boiler house, air compression system, and two large water reservoirs of 100,000 liters each. The logistics infrastructure includes five heavy vehicle-accessible gates and a security checkpoint with weighing facilities.

This turnkey complex offers numerous advantages: a prime logistical location for both domestic and international markets, fully operational industrial machinery, ample space for sustainable expansion, and a diverse range of permitted activities such as cork transformation, stopper manufacturing, granulated cork, and agglomerate production for export. Portugal’s leadership in the global cork industry ensures strong market connectivity, coupled with opportunities for partnerships with leading wineries worldwide.

Scheduling a visit will reveal this exceptional opportunity for growth in the sustainable cork market. Energy certification is exempt, and the property holds an IAD Portugal AMI license (11220). Ref: 132303.
