Corridor footprint

Racius lists Ramiro & Carvalho, Lda (NIF 502779624) at Zona Industrial do Socorro, Lote 92, Fafe, as a sociedade por quotas with €990,000 of share capital. Its registered objects are making and trading clothing, textile printing, running a laundry and trading printing accessories. Its main activity is series-made outerwear. eInforma dates the firm at 34 years old. On its own site the company says it has 30 years in the clothing industry and offers a “total service” to large international brands, from collection design through weaving, dyeing, printing, laboratory and quality control to delivery. Its production page says this work is spread across three production centres in Portugal and Morocco. The site’s portfolio names Zara and Massimo Dutti (Inditex), Hermès and Valentino.

The H&M Group public supplier list (August 2026, v1.2) names Ramiro & Carvalho as the supplier behind four jersey production units. The first is its own in-house manufacturing unit at Lote 92. The other three are contract units: Confecções Teixeira & Xavier at Lote 32 in the same Socorro zone, CRC Production in the Mejjat industrial zone and ABF Confection in Tangier, both in Morocco. CRC Production also makes woven garments. Every unit is in the 1–500 worker band and has less than three years of business with H&M.

Recent activity

In December 2024 CENIT, with the support of the clothing association ANIVEC, gave Ramiro & Carvalho its Business Excellence Award in the Industry 4.0 category. It was one of four companies recognised that year, alongside Confetil, Portuguese Flannel and Anglotex (ModaLisboa, 9 December 2024). In April 2025 Portugal Têxtil profiled the company under the headline “Ramiro & Carvalho na vanguarda tecnológica” (24 April 2025).

Why this matters for the corridor

Ramiro & Carvalho is one of the newest Portuguese entries in H&M’s supply base, with all its units added in the past three years. It also shows how a Fafe full-package house can serve a Swedish buyer through a mixed Portugal–Morocco network. Nordic brands looking for design-led jersey on near-shore lead times can see the whole chain in public: an owned factory, a neighbouring subcontractor and two Moroccan partners, all recorded in the August 2026 H&M list.
