Carité Calçados Lda traces its origins back to 1986, when João Teixeira set up as a sole trader offering footwear stitching services. Starting with a staff of just four, the quality of its work soon won it the leading footwear factories in the Felgueiras area as clients.
The business grew steadily year after year, until its size, particularly its headcount, outgrew its legal structure as a sole proprietorship.
Carité was therefore incorporated in May 1990, with João Reinaldo Cunha Teixeira as managing partner. Having worked until then solely as a stitching subcontractor, in 1994 it took the next step towards becoming a footwear manufacturer in its own right, producing complete shoes, though still exclusively on a subcontract basis.
Continued growth meant the company needed more space, and operations ended up split across three separate buildings in different locations: ground-floor premises in residential blocks, with no proper industrial facilities.
In late 1994 the company put in place the conditions it needed to grow, investing in new premises and in up-to-date production equipment.
Focusing on high-quality products and a proactive sales approach, Carité has targeted international markets since 1995, exporting almost all of its output to major international brands, which sell the shoes under their own labels.
This strategy has delivered sustained growth, with turnover exceeding €10 million in 2009.
Positioned in the mid-to-upper market segment, with demanding standards for materials and on-time delivery, the company continues to invest in new production equipment and in skilled technical staff to meet every challenge that arises.
