Nordic presence in Portugal

Reflectil

Hi-Vis Garments (Paredes)

Reflectil is an Oslo visibility-products group that develops and sells high-visibility garments, vests and reflective materials for professional and personal use, with companies in Norway, Sweden and Portugal. Its holding company was registered in 1986, and production — together with the group’s European stock — sits at its own factory in Gandra, Paredes, east of Porto.

Corridor footprint

Reflectil’s group structure is registered in Oslo: Reflectil Holding AS, dating from August 1986, and the Norwegian sales company Reflectil Norge AS, from November 1996, both at Sandstuveien 70 and both classified in the Brønnøysund register under other industrial production. A Swedish sister company, Reflectil Sverige AB, is based in Kungälv, north of Gothenburg. The group develops, manufactures and markets high-visibility garments, vests and reflective materials for workwear and personal safety.

Manufacturing happens in Portugal. Reflectil – Produtos para Segurança e Confecções, Lda (NIF 502444584) runs the factory in Gandra, in the municipality of Paredes, registered under CAE 14120 for the manufacture of workwear; the group’s European stock is held there as well. A second company, Reflectil II Portugal, Lda (NIF 506522458), handles the commercialisation of safety products and carries the former name of Erik Høgvard – Comercialização de Produtos de Segurança, Lda.

Why this matters for the corridor

Reflectil is the Nordic brand-owner model in its plainest form: design, sales and customer relationships in Oslo and Kungälv, manufacturing at its own factory in Paredes. For Portuguese apparel manufacturers it is a reference case of a Nordic workwear company that chose to own its Portuguese capacity rather than buy it, and for Nordic buyers of safety garments it is a reminder that part of the category is made in northern Portugal.
