Corridor footprint

Racius lists José António Sampaio Teixeira & Companhia, Lda (NIF 504455990) as a private limited company in Felgueiras with share capital of €200,000, whose registered activity is the manufacture of leather footwear (CAE 15201). Its registered address is Rua do Monte das Ruas 371, Apartado 31, 4610-265 Felgueiras. eInforma, which records an earlier form of the name ending “& C.ª, Lda”, gives the business about 26 years of activity, and balance sheets are available up to 2025. The company does not appear to run a working public website, so little is published about its product range beyond its registration as a leather-shoe maker.

Danish fashion group BESTSELLER, owner of Jack & Jones, Only, Vero Moda and Name It, lists the company as both supplier and factory in its October 2026 public factory list, classified as a main cut-to-pack unit for footwear. The list puts the Felgueiras plant in the 1–1,000 employee band, with a workforce that is 55% women and 45% men.

Why this matters for the corridor

Like several neighbours in Felgueiras, this is a family-named factory that sells little under its own name and is visible mainly through its customers. BESTSELLER’s factory disclosure shows that one of Denmark’s largest fashion groups buys finished leather shoes directly from the Tâmega e Sousa cluster. For Nordic buyers, a direct supplier relationship of this kind is the clearest public sign that a factory has the capacity and paperwork to serve a large Nordic brand.
