Somelos – Excellence in Textiles

Somelos is a Portuguese textile manufacturer we have come to know and trust both through our work together and through our visit to their factory and headquarters in Ronfe, Guimarães. Founded in 1958, the company has grown into one of Portugal's most respected names in textile production, known for the quality of their yarns and fabrics and the care with which they are made.

A Legacy of Excellence

Somelos operates a vertically integrated facility in Ronfe, from spinning to finishing, every step of production takes place under one roof. This gives them full control over quality and consistency, and it shows in the fabrics they produce. Their capacity of four million metres annually is built on decades of refined technique and a genuine commitment to getting things right.

Innovation Meets Tradition

Somelos combines heritage methods with modern technology, adapting continuously while remaining grounded in the craft. Their approach is never to move fast for its own sake but to improve with intention, maintaining the standards that have defined them for over sixty years.

Responsibility as a Way of Working

Environmental and social care are central to how Somelos operates. They have invested in advanced systems to reduce water and energy consumption, and hold certifications including GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and REACH compliance. They also participate in the Better Cotton Initiative. Their social commitment is equally genuine with employees benefitting from on-site childcare, healthcare services, and a staff canteen. These are the details that reveal how a company truly sees its people.

A Valued Partnership

We have visited the Somelos team in Ronfe and met them at international textile fairs. Their dedication to excellence is evident in every interaction and in every fabric they produce. It is a partnership built on mutual trust and shared values, and one we are proud to continue.
