Portugal’s factories, open to buyers in every time zone.

Northern Portugal holds most textile and furniture makers, while the centre and the coast make ceramics, glass and cork. Many firms are family owned and take smaller orders than Asian mills.

Guimaraes and the Ave valley

Bed linen, towels, table linen and knitwear. Mills offer private label, organic cotton and short runs for European brands.

Home textile exporters

Pacos de Ferreira

Furniture made by hundreds of workshops north of Porto, from solid wood cabinets to upholstered pieces for contract buyers.

Furniture exporters

Aveiro, Caldas da Rainha and Alcobaca

Stoneware, porcelain and earthenware tableware, plus decorative ceramics sold to retailers and restaurant groups.

Ceramics and tableware

Marinha Grande and the cork belt

Glassware from Marinha Grande, and cork products for flooring, decor and packaging from makers near Santa Maria da Feira.

Glassware exporters

Buyer markets, currencies and Incoterms

Buyer markets

Spain, France, Germany and the UK are the main buyers, with the US growing for ceramics and textiles. Many buyers choose Portugal for shorter lead times and smaller minimums.

Currencies buyers quote in

Prices are quoted in euros. US and UK buyers may ask for dollars or pounds, so keep your booth in euros and quote those buyers in their currency.

Incoterms buyers expect

EXW and FCA are common for truck freight to the rest of Europe. FOB Leixoes suits sea freight to the US and beyond.

Ports and shipping lanes

Leixoes near Porto serves the north, Aveiro serves the centre, and Lisbon and Sines serve the south. Trucks reach Spain and France in a day or two.

How your Digital Booth follows up buyers

  • Every buyer you meet gets one link to your booth at yourcompany.poly9.ai, plus a QR code for your stand and your visiting card.
  • Buyers ask questions at any hour, and the assistant answers in English from your photos, specs and the prices you set.
  • Each enquiry lands in your inbox with the products, quantities and terms the buyer asked about, so your team replies with context.
  • Glaze colours, sizes and pack sizes sit on each tableware item with the price you set, so a buyer can build a range.
  • Short-run and private label requests reach your inbox with an AI reply draft, and your quote shows the minimum you accept.

Questions from Portugal manufacturers

Can small brands order short runs?
Yes. Set one minimum per item, and make colours separate products in a family if each needs its own. Your quotes show the MOQ, and enquiries below it still reach your inbox so you can decide case by case.
Can buyers request custom glazes or colours?
Buyers can ask for a custom glaze, colour or print. The assistant marks it price on request, and the enquiry comes to you with the details and the buyer’s email. You price it and send the quote in one click.
Does the booth help with US buyers?
Yes. US buyers browse your catalog in English, see prices in the currency you choose and ask questions when you are offline. Their enquiries arrive in your inbox in the morning with everything you need to reply.
Can we try the Digital Booth before paying?
Yes. Send photos of 5 products and Poly9 builds a private preview of your Digital Booth. You check the names, materials, sizes and finishes, correct anything that looks wrong, and pay when you are ready to publish it for buyers.
Will the AI ever quote a price we did not set?
No. The booth shows only the prices you set, in your website currency. Quotes you send carry the Incoterm and port you choose. When a buyer asks for something you have not priced, the assistant marks it price on request and sends the enquiry to your inbox for your team.
