Coelima

What Coelima does

Coelima (legal name "Coelima by Mabera") is a privately held Portuguese home-textiles manufacturer founded in 1922 in Guimarães by Mr. Albano Coelho Lima, now led by President Dâmaso Lobo. The company produces bed linen, bedding, and related textile articles from cotton and linen, including a proprietary JHEMP yarn-dyed jacquard fabric incorporating hemp fiber that was a finalist for the iTechStyle Awards 2022. It operates three branded lines — the flagship COELIMA premium brand, the Spanish-market NICOLETA sub-brand (with origins dating to 1872), and the ESSENTIALS classic line — alongside a B2B private-label manufacturing service that produces customized textile articles for external brand partners.

The company's revenue model is a hybrid of (1) one-time private-label manufacturing contracts for other brands and specialty stores, (2) direct retail sales through its Pevidém/Guimarães factory store and the coelimastore.pt online store, and (3) wholesale distribution through a partner (Dalmases) covering the Spanish market for the Nicoleta brand. Distribution is concentrated in Portugal and Spain, with newer efforts to reach North American buyers via the New York Home Fashions Market. Target customer segments include luxury hospitality, specialty retail buyers, and luxury consumers; ISO 9001:2015 certification underpins its B2B quality positioning.

The company employs 101–250 people, is family-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and is currently repositioning toward higher-end, luxury, and smart textile markets — exemplified by a March 2026 commercial-team restructuring, new hires from competing vendors, and continued product launches such as the Spring-Summer 2025 collection. Awards include two category wins in the Home Textile Today 2022 Reader Rankings, signaling industry recognition of its design and product quality.
