In our innovation team, our mission is to systematically develop solutions that allow us to be competitive and explore strategic areas where the characteristics of cork are highly valued by clients and consumers, adding value to the organisation and its shareholders.
We believe our innovation processes will be more effective if we integrate a range of knowledge and skills from outside the organisation. This is why we work daily in order to expand our innovation network to organisations in the scientific system, to technology centres and to R&D companies, promoting the unique characteristics of cork and disseminating our innovation challenges.
From our perspective, we are fully interested in developing solutions that can contribute to the thermal and acoustic performance of cork when applied to the construction area, preferably integrating recycled raw materials or waste from other industries. Other areas of interest are those involving materials for vibration control, sports floors, furniture, the aerospace and transport industries, among others.
We would like to invite you to join our innovation network.

Cork, as part of the world’s forests, helps maximize carbon sequestration and consequently counters global warming and climate changes. Cork is the bark of Quercus Suber L. and is renewed every nine years.
Amorim Cork Composites is also using sub-products from cork stoppers production as raw material. This value-chain ensures use for materials that would otherwise be wasted.
Amorim Cork Composites goes further in systematic use of sub-products, namely by using sub-products from the footwear, automotive and packaging industries.
Amorim Cork Composites’ new approach is based on the knowledge that product design, throughout its life cycle, has huge relevance on environmental impacts. We are committed to ensuring that the design of products extends their function as far as possible. This is our working philosophy and we want to spread the message. For this reason, we are the industrial partner of Katch_e, in an European project entitled: Training for Circular Economy in the Construction and Furniture Sectors.
