High-performance fabrics with a low environmental impact
“Our desire is to show the way forward, to be an example for other companies,” declared Mário Jorge Silva, Tintex founder and CEO as he opened a series of presentations and debates commemorating an innovation award that the company received recently from Portugal’s Instituto de Apoio às Pequenas e Médias Empresas e à Inovação (IAPMEI). Every year, this organisation, linked to the ministry of the economy, rewards small- or medium-sized companies from all business sectors. More than 300 people, members of the Portuguese government and textile industry attended the event in April at the Tintex factory in Vila Nova de Cerveira, in the north of Portugal.
