Portobello flooring

Since Portobello was founded in 1979 in the city of Tijucas in Santa Catarina, Brazil, the company has linked itself with the idea of technological innovation - the element differentiating Portobello from other national companies and fundamental for international competitiveness.Initial production was for the internal market and the main product was called "verd?o" flooring. The line was composed of two glazes, with some variations.Combined with the discovery of new raw materials, research pointed to a new segment: ceramic flooring capable of supporting heavy loads, while at the same time being easy to clean and attractive.Then Portobello developed the first line of drip glaze flooring for high traffic in Brazil and one of the first in the world. The line was called "Carga Pesada" - Heavy Load, inspired by a Brazilian television serial by the same name.
