The first cement factory to be built from scratch in Portugal was Fábrica Cimento Tejo (1890-1894), today the Alhandra da Cimpor factory.This unit is more than a century old and is located 25 km north of Lisbon, in the village of Alhandra, on the right bank of the Tagus River.It has good road, rail and sea communication routes.
Founded in 1824, the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory was the first industrial unit dedicated to producing porcelain in Portugal. The persistence of its founder, José Ferreira Pinto Basto, was instrumental to the launch and success of this daring enterprise. A landowner, audacious merchant and distinguished figure in Portuguese society at the time, José Ferreira Pinto Basto wisely adopted the liberal ideas of the 19th century, having become “the first example of free initiative” in Portugal.
José Ferreira Pinto Basto started by acquiring the Ermida Farm, located near the town of Ílhavo, by the Aveiro Stream, in 1812. In 1816, this entrepreneur acquired the Vista Alegre Chapel in a public sale, as well as the surrounding grounds, where he would later build the Vista Alegre Factory.
