Working on a manual knitting machine, part of Alexandre Machado’s history

We are a family-owned company founded in 1981 in Figueiró (Santiago), Amarante, Portugal. For over four decades, we have grown and adapted to changing market needs.

From handcraft and hand knitting to industrial knitwear production, we have evolved to serve a diverse range of clients, exporting to several European countries and the United States.

We offer knitwear development and manufacturing tailored to each client’s needs. Our knitwear production works in gauges 12, 7, 5 and 3, from sample development to the finished garment.
