OUR STORY
In 1975, Cotex began to play an active role in national fashion with the production of lace. Investing heavily in Karl Meyer looms, our constant and modern lace creations began to be part of the clothing and lingerie of Portuguese women, supplying many national textile companies and the most famous brands that were being created and expanding in Europe.
Our success is the result of extensive market knowledge, unique accumulated experience, and deep relationships developed with our clients over more than 40 years.
We always keep in mind that, in addition to the quality and innovation of our products, what distinguishes us is also the agility, flexibility, and speed with which we create and produce them, while remaining committed to maintaining a recognizably competitive price level, being a European manufacturer that complies with the highest standards of ethics and social and environmental responsibility.
Our future depends on maintaining all these competitive advantages and continuing to contribute to making fashion a true expression of each woman's uniqueness.
