History and human resources

Moldamirco, Metalomecânica de Moldes e Ferramentas, Lda was founded in July 1999 by António Dâmaso, Paulo Couto and Júlio Couto.

Its initial goal was to contribute to the local industries by providing metalworking services.

Located in the Ave Valley region, Moldamirco started to focus its services almost exclusively in repairing tire molds (thanks to the large experience of its co-workers at the time), later widening its activity to creating and developing Thermoforming Molds for Plastic, Rubber, Machinery and Tools.

In 1999 the plant had an area of 250m2 and 9 co-workers. In 2001 it was decided that the business needed to grow properly, and so Moldamirco moved to a warehouse in the Carvalhosa Industrial Area with an area of 800m2, buying new equipment and machinery, increasing its labor force and diversifying from the core business, providing such new services as industrial maintenance, technical parts, and manufacturing tailor-made machinery. In 2003, due to the thriving business, the adjacent warehouse was bought and the plant increased its area to 1600m2.
