ASA
"The current building of Fábrica ASA dates back to 1946, when the company was based in Covas, Polvoreira, in the city of Guimarães, standing out as an exporter from 1966 to markets such as the USA, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom, remaining in operation at this location until 2006. In 1999, ASA was completely acquired by LAMEIRINHO – Industria Têxtil, S.A. This acquisition strengthens LAMEIRINHO as a company that is already an international reference in the area of home textiles and cements its recognition in the market national through the portfolio of brands it now holds, namely the ASA brand, one of the company's biggest assets, and which continues to be one of the reference brands in the Portuguese market. With LAMEIRINHO being the market leader in the area of home textiles and already with great international projection, ends up absorbing, in a process of integration and restructuring, ASA's human resources."
