A FÁBRICA

As a leading Portuguese stoneware manufacturer, we proudly oversee a portfolio of four exceptional factories, nurturing two distinguished brands: COSTA NOVA and Casafina by COSTA NOVA.

At COSTA NOVA Industria group, each piece of stoneware begins with a spark of inspiration and a meticulous design process that prioritizes innovation and
sustainability. Our talented designers consider every aspect, from form and ergonomics to aesthetics and the product’s life cycle, ensuring minimal environmental impact. We source raw materials locally from Portugal’s finest natural resources and incorporate recycled elements to enhance our commitment to sustainability.

Many hands touch each of our stoneware products. While our four factories are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the manual process still reigns supreme.

This commitment continues through the casting and molding stages, the decorating and the glazing… where artistry, precision and care are paramount. Even the firing process is significant, as stoneware is singlefired, reducing energy consumption and furthering the commitment to sustainability.

As the clay is shaped and refined, it undergoes a beautiful metamorphosis, evolving from a simple, malleable material into a durable functional piece.

Each moment spent in the factory is a celebration of creation, where we witness the fusion of skill and passion. This immersive environment fosters a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in every piece we produce, turning our work into a shared journey of creativity and dedication.

There is poetry in the stoneware manufacturing process. Each step is magical, transforming raw clay into a solid item that carries with it the artistry and craftsmanship of our artisans.

For those of us who work in the factories,
the experience of crafting stoneware is truly unique. The texture of the clay between our fingers connects us to the earth and our craft, while the mesmerizing rotation of the jiggering and jollying machines brings the clay to life. The rich aroma of freshly fired ceramics fills the air, a reminder of the transformative power of heat and artistry.
