Own Facilities

WITH A CONSISTENT TEAM AND A RAPIDLY EXPANDING BUSINESS, J. C. RIBEIRO MOVED ITS FACILITIES TO ITS OWN SPACE IN 1993, LEAVING THE OLD SPACE WHERE IT OPERATED, AND BUILDING A NEW FACTORY, WHICH INCREASED ITS RESPONSE CAPACITY AND OPTIMIZED ITS PRODUCTION PROCESSES.

Presence in the British Market

AS A RESULT OF THE RAPID GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF CONTACTS AND THE CONSEQUENT INCREASE IN EXPORTS OF CORK CAPSULES TO THE BRITISH MARKET, J. C. RIBEIRO DECIDED TO ESTABLISH A DIRECT PRESENCE IN THIS MARKET TO ENSURE A MORE EFFICIENT RESPONSE TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

100 million corks sold in a single year

THIRTY-TWO YEARS AFTER ITS FOUNDING, J. C. RIBEIRO REACHES 100 MILLION CORKS SOLD IN A SINGLE YEAR. THIS MILESTONE REFLECTS THE TRUST AND PREFERENCE OF ITS CUSTOMERS, EARNED THROUGH MANY YEARS OF DEDICATION AND THE QUALITY WITH WHICH EACH OF ITS PRODUCTS IS DEVELOPED.

THE PRESENT

New Factory
