Why this matters

António Salgado & Cª is the smallest of the four home-textile suppliers from Guimarães and Vizela on Marimekko’s list — with Mundotêxtil, Belfama and Domingos de Sousa & Filhos — which together make up almost a third of the Portuguese rows. Marimekko’s June 2026 partner-supplier list has 97 factory rows, 13 of them in Portugal — 12 different Portuguese suppliers, second only to China’s 13 — and the Helsinki-listed design house’s 2025 annual report puts Portugal’s share of Marimekko products sold at 15%, behind only China (20%) and Thailand (17%).
