Amorim Florestal España

Corticeira Amorim's subsidiary in Badajoz: sourcing and primary preparation of cork.

Amorim Florestal España

Description

Amorim Florestal España is the Spanish subsidiary of the Portuguese group Corticeira Amorim, with a plant in San Vicente de Alcántara (Badajoz). It is the group's raw material unit: it handles the sourcing, purchase, storage and primary preparation of cork (grading and processing of slabs) that then supplies the rest of the divisions. It manages the purchase of cork from forestry producers and promotes R&D linked to the cork oak. Unlike Amorim Cork Insulation —which manufactures expanded cork agglomerate (ICB) for insulation—, Florestal is the forestry and raw material division, not the insulation product division.

Why we chose it

Because it's the link that makes cork traceability credible —from the cork oak forest to the slab. Without a serious forestry division behind it, 'sustainable cork' would be nothing more than a label.
