It is already on the third generation and just celebrated its 40th anniversary. Olhamar is, however, younger than even. It specialized in the production of belts and other luxury fashion accessories, specifically for major international brands, and it is preparing to face new challenges. With confidence.

We have been committed since early on to the production of belts with high added value, Manuel Ramalho said, especially destined to the Portuguese market. Currently, the company produces more than two thousand belts each day - with a stock of over five thousand distinct models - and has a presence in more than ten different markets.

We started exporting in the eighties, he highlighted. Exports have even increased 36% in 2011. Numbers that are, nevertheless, insufficient. The priority, now, is to diversify the export base and enter new markets. For that to happen, Olhamar has compelling arguments. We are flexible, we invest heavily in development and our service is beyond reproach. For this reason, time has also arrived to invest in other market segments. We are taking advantage of our internal skills to develop and produce other fashion accessories, like bags and purses, said the company´s representative. The first reaction was excellent, because we have the internal skills to execute small orders very quickly.
