What Azevedos does

A.F. AZEVEDOS – INDÚSTRIA, S.A. is a privately held Portuguese metalworking manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in Ribeirão, Vila Nova de Famalicão, operating two production units spanning more than 12,000m². The company provides an integrated sheet metal and electromechanical assembly service portfolio — project design (SOLIDWORKS/AUTOCAD), laser cutting (TRUMPF TruLaser 3030 CO2 and 5040 lines), punching (TRUMPF TruMatic 3000 Fiber), bending (ADIRA and TRUMPF), CNC machining (six centres plus EDM and grinding), welding (manual and robotic MIG/MAG, TIG, laser), calendering, polishing (LISSMAC), powder coating (RAL finishes up to 4000x2000x850mm) and final electromechanical assembly — under ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The company serves enterprise B2B customers through direct sales (phone, email, in-person) across multiple verticals: Electric Mobility (EV charger components, including for powerdot), Energy (cabinets for EFACEC), Transportation (Paris Metro validation terminals and cladding), Logistics (Robot Legs handling robot), Construction, Healthcare, Furniture and general Engineering. Project-based, quote-driven custom manufacturing is the primary revenue model, complemented by finished electromechanical product assembly and the BPLAN sub-brand (created 2009) for architectural and design metal applications.

Family-controlled under the Azevedo family (Jaime Azevedo in management), the firm rebranded in 2025 from A.F. Azevedos, Ferramentas, Lda. to A.F. AZEVEDOS – INDÚSTRIA, S.A. to reflect its evolution from a tool-and-mould workshop into a full industrial manufacturer. It holds PME Líder 2024, COTEC INOVADORA 2025 and Created IN recognitions, and pursues an internationalisation strategy across Angola, France, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Morocco supported by EU FEDER funding. The firm employs 51–100 people and operates a 250kWp/210kW on-site solar plant, signalling cost-side sustainability investment.
