Torres Novas 

The Companhia Nacional de Fiação e Tecidos de Torres Novas (National Spinning and Weaving Company of Torres Novas) was founded on October 2, 1845, in the town of Torres Novas, by a group of merchants from Lisbon, wishing to become independent of imports.

As one of the first terry cloth production lines in Portugal, the Companhia de Torres Novas quickly became a reference in the manufacture of bath towels. The Torres Novas brand established itself as the most well-known Portuguese bath towel brand, recognized for its high quality manufacturing process, the use of the best raw materials and the Almonda, Luxus and Elegance designs, as well as several creative designs and other articles. At this point it also became available at traditional high-end Portuguese home product retailers.
