Company Profile
Latino Confecções, Lda. was constituted in January of 1986 and, ever since, it has evolved though several transformations, in order to adapt to the mutations of the involving market.
In the beginning, the social object of the company was production of garments as well as import and export of fabrics. At this time, Latino was devoted, mainly, to the production of classic corporate clothing, namely trousers and jackets and suits, under the Latino® brand name. Our main clients were European distributors.
Around 1987, there was a need to diversify, both the markets and the products. In this process, the company started manufacturing 'Casual Wear' and military uniforms, predominantly sold to the Angolan market, that had became highly profitable for the company, positioning Latino as a market leader in that country and a reference in the Portuguese speaking countries in Africa.
In 1994, Latino took a new step forward applying all the technical knowledge taken from the uniform production into a new segment: Corporate and protective clothing and uniforms, and also P.P.E. (personal protective equipment).There was a very big growth potential in this market, due to growing legal demands in safety and hygiene in the work environment and the demand of corporate clothing customized to the client s image.
At this time the company moves forward with determination for 'Technical workwear' production for markets such as England, Germany, Italy, Finland and Denmark, feeling an absolute spin in the concept of the company and its strategy, sustained in the creation of a new brand of corporate and protective clothing, workwear and PPE: PROWORK.
