Why this matters

Coutofiel sits inside the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia business corridor that NorthSouth HQ tracks every day. It is a Penafiel granite and paving contractor that works in Sweden through a Swedish tax and employer registration rather than a local subsidiary, with project work documented in Skåne and Halland.
