NERLEI CCI has been working with companies from the Home Cluster for more than 20 years, organizing, supporting, and monitoring their individual participation in the Ambiente Fair. After more than two decades supporting Portuguese companies, we aimed to innovate and create a different approach to participation that would further highlight Portuguese companies. The "Made in Portugal Naturally" stand was designed to give center stage to what Portugal does best. The various sectors of the Portuguese Home Cluster - which includes furniture, home textile, houseware (ceramics, cutlery, metallic crockery, small appliances, and glass/crystals), and lighting - are represented by more than 7.500 companies, which directly employ more than 61.000 people. The export volume of the Portuguese Home Cluster increased by 14% to 1.4 billion euros by August 2023. The French market contributed most to this result, with more than 472 million euros of sales.
