Calvi
In the heart of Caldas de Vizela, nestled amidst the vibrant tapestry of Portugal's textile industry, lies CALVI, a cherished family-owned enterprise with roots tracing back to 1966. Founded by the visionary Fernando Lopes da Cunha, CALVI embarked on its journey with a humble yet steadfast commitment to excellence, initially specializing in the craft of shirt-making. Over the span of five decades, CALVI's narrative unfolded, marked by resilience, evolution, and a deep-seated connection to its community.
In 1990, adversity struck when a devastating fire ravaged CALVI's facilities, leaving behind a trail of destruction that threatened the very foundation of the company. However, buoyed by unwavering support from the local community, familial solidarity, and the dedication of its workforce, CALVI emerged from the ashes with renewed vigor. Fuelled by a spirit of reinvention, the company embarked on a journey of reconstruction, investing in modern infrastructure and cutting-edge machinery to propel its operations forward.
Under the stewardship of Miguel Lopes, who assumed leadership in 2013, CALVI embarked on a transformative trajectory guided by the principles of sustainability. Embracing a holistic approach, CALVI endeavored to harmonize its endeavors across three pivotal pillars: financial stability, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. With a steadfast commitment to doing what is right, CALVI continues to weave its legacy, not merely as a purveyor of textiles but as a beacon of resilience and integrity within the fabric of Portugal's textile industry.
