What Artinox does

Artinox – Fábrica Metalúrgica, SA is a Portuguese designer and manufacturer of interior decorative lighting, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Aguada de Cima, Águeda, with a single integrated factory producing 100% in-house. Its core product range spans wall lights, table lamps, floor lamps, suspensions and ceiling fixtures, reading lights, architectural lighting, bathroom lighting, and illuminated and non-illuminated mirrors, organized into dozens of named collections and offered across 19+ proprietary metal finishes (gold plate, antique gold, chrome, brushed nickel, copper variants, etc.). The company combines traditional artisanal metalworking in brass, copper, iron, and stainless steel with advanced production technology, and operates a formal 8-step bespoke development process covering consultation, prototyping, testing, mockup, production, and quality control.

The business model is B2B project-based, targeting hospitality, residential, commercial, and cruise ship/naval sectors through direct field sales to architects, interior designers, hotel chains, and project developers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with product catalogs and pricing gated behind professional account registration. Revenue streams include standard product sales, fully customized bespoke lighting, private label manufacturing for brand partners under confidentiality guarantees, and mirrors/bathroom products. The company reports operations in 50+ countries across Europe (Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland) with documented enterprise references including Vila Galé Collection, MS Collection, Hotel Kaiserhof Muenster, Strandhotel Duhnen, Bank Hotel, InterContinental Warsaw, Casino Baden-Baden, and BASF Koln.

The firm is a privately held independent Portuguese S.A. (no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds), supported by 51-100 employees and a 3-year limited warranty on standard products introduced in 2019. Sustainability initiatives (2024 solar panel installation at the factory), an extensive project portfolio, and proprietary finish catalog are positioned as key differentiators for specification-driven European buyers.
