Cavex Group

What Cavex Group does

Grupo CAVEX is a family-owned Portuguese business group headquartered in S. João da Madeira, Portugal, operating a federated network of 15 wholly-owned subsidiaries across business consulting, international trading and logistics, cultural and multimedia projects, marketing and communication, and ancillary verticals (forestry, real estate, environmental consulting, rural tourism). The group bills itself as a global services provider serving government institutions, cultural organizations and enterprise clients — reference customers include L'Oreal Portugal, Banco Nacional de Angola, the Instituto Nacional do Café de Angola, the National Museum Machado de Castro and the Government of Lunda-Norte — primarily across lusophone African markets (Angola, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau) with sourcing reach into Europe (Germany, Portugal) and Asia (China, Thailand via agents).

The group's core technology stack spans four modular business lines: (i) multimedia and interactive solutions for museums (360° virtual visits, interactive kiosks, RFID/QR-driven content, video mapping, audio guides and inventory/collection management systems) delivered through subsidiary FCo; (ii) international procurement and end-to-end logistics coordination of goods and equipment, delivered through CAVEX - Trade & Sourcing and TRAD.EST; (iii) business and institutional consulting including strategy, feasibility studies and European-funding application dossiers, delivered through CAVEX Consult and CAVEX GB; and (iv) culture/tourism/education content and consulting delivered through COMCULTURA, CulTur, FCo and NOVACOM. Supporting subsidiaries (LOSANGO, CV AMBI, RTF, MOCITE, Scryptus 1, INOMO, MURIMO, Monte Abades) extend the group into forestry, environmental management, real estate, graphic-industry supply, paper distribution, Mozambican trading, Angolan project execution, and rural-tourism hospitality.

The business model is project- and retainer-based professional services revenue, with custom-priced multi-year contracts for consulting, international procurement fees (transaction-based on sourced equipment and goods) and project-based fees for cultural/multimedia engagements. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales into African government buyers and Portuguese-speaking commercial clients, supported by European-producer partnerships and cooperation-organism relationships that channel EU-funded project opportunities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per-project by direct engagement.
