Braga precision-metalworking firm supplying components across rail, naval, hydraulic, aerospace and defence, investing €2.5 million in a new optics line to produce sights for a Swedish defence customer set to become its largest export market.
Promecel is a high-precision metalworking company based in Braga, founded in 1985, that machines components for the rail, naval, hydraulic, aerospace and defence sectors. It is investing around €2.5 million in a new optics production line aimed at a defence customer in the Nordics.
According to Portuguese reporting, that line will produce rifle sights for a Swedish customer, with Sweden projected to rise to roughly 35–40% of Promecel’s revenue — potentially overtaking France as the company’s single largest market.
