Portuguese stoneware brand from Grestel Produtos Cerâmicos (Vagos), distributed across the Nordics by Denmark’s F&H Group and stocked in Scandinavian design retail.
Costa Nova is the flagship brand of Grestel Produtos Cerâmicos, founded in Vagos in 1998 by Miguel Casal and Rui Batel, with the Costa Nova line launched in 2005. Its high-fired, oven-to-table stoneware reaches Nordic consumers through Denmark’s F&H Group, a Viborg-based houseware distributor that carries Costa Nova among its brands, placing the Portuguese tableware in design-led retail and department stores across Scandinavia.
Costa Nova (Grestel) sits inside the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia business corridor that NorthSouth HQ tracks every day. As a Portuguese company with a documented Nordic footprint, its operations are a data point in the broader story of how capital, goods, people and ideas flow between Portugal and the Nordics — a corridor that is accelerating in 2026.
Fractio helps Portuguese companies enter the Nordic markets — from market sizing to first sales, partnerships, and distribution setup.
