Learn more about Alcobre:

The earliest Alcobre company was established in 1910 as a private company named Alvaro Pinto dos Santos in Porto, Portugal, producing low-voltage cables majorly.

In 1989, it became a member of the Amorim and Sumolis Group and officially changed its name to Alcobre Condutores Electricos SA.

In 1993, Alcobre transferred its headquarters and production base to the Ovar industrial zone, where the current factory is located. From 1994 to 2016, Alcobre was part of the Powertech/Aberdare Group.

In 2016, Alcobre was acquired by Hengtong Group. Maintaining high efficiency on the one hand, it kept, in collaboration with Hengtong colleagues, improving its operation in an all-round manner on the other, including expanding the production line, upgrading equipment, among other things. Its performance has been making remarkable progress. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alcobre maintained stable operation nevertheless.

We as the Hengtongers will continue working together hand-in-hand for the further development of Alcobre, for the improvement of European business, for better service to our customers, and for constant contribution to our communities.
