Aldeco

What Aldeco does

Aldeco is a Portuguese textile editor that designs, produces, and distributes original fabric and wallpaper collections exclusively for professional interior design clients. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Grijó, Vila Nova de Gaia, the company operates a B2B model selling through a dedicated trade portal (b2b.aldeco.pt), four physical showrooms (Porto, Lisbon, Algarve, and Madrid), and an export network reaching 60+ countries. Its customer base comprises interior designers, architects, decorators, and procurement specialists serving residential, hospitality, marine, outdoor, and healthcare segments.

The product portfolio spans six proprietary collections — ALDECO (interior fabrics), ALDECO IN/OUTDOOR (performance textiles), ALDECONTRACT (hospitality/specification-grade), ALDECO SMARTER (sustainable/recycled), ALDECO HOME, and WALLDECO — augmented by exclusive distribution rights for third-party designer brands including Armani Casa, Missoni Home, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana wallpapers, Sunbrella, and Ashley Wilde. Technical capabilities include fire-retardant treatments certified to BS 5852, IMO, CAL 117, NFPA 701, EN 1021, and M1; water-repellent, blackout, acoustic, and recycled material options; and Martindale abrasion ratings up to 200,000+ cycles. Quality and compliance are anchored by ISO 9001:2015, OEKO-TEX, REACH, and GOTS certifications.

The business model rests on direct B2B sales with pricing negotiated per project and communicated to registered trade customers rather than publicly listed. The company pursues growth through internationalization (one EU FEDER grant of €387,247.70 of a €860,550.45 internationalization project under POSEUR-02-08), expansion of the trade show calendar (Maison&Objet, Paris Deco Off, Interihotel, Munich Fabric Start, Heimtextil), and product-line diversification into sustainability and outdoor segments. No public revenue, ownership, or valuation disclosures are available.
