Our Heritage

Faria & Bento is located in the historic village of Aljubarrota , which is very important for the Portuguese history and is part of one of the most important knowledge centers of ceramics in Portugal and in Europe – Alcobaça region. Here remains a strong ceramic tradition since the 14 th century, combining the know-how from the Cistér Monks and the Old Ceramic Factory of Juncal.

This heritage is been carried from generation to generation, from the 14th century and still today this tradition is vivid in almost every family living in the area. Here one lives, breaths and dreams with the art and knowledge of artistic ceramic.

To work at Faria & Bento means much more than having great talent. It is necessary to believe that anyone of us can make the difference in best serving our customers while keeping the strict principle of business ethics.

We combine the technologic innovation with scientific research, with the ceramic art and the creativity of our designers , in systematically developing products that surprise our customers in all points of view: superior performance, functionality, style, quality, and that truly help them in solving their problems of use.

Despite our strong orientation for our customers, we strongly believe and set into place all the efforts to build and keep long lasting and rewarding relationships with our employees, customers and suppliers, in order to create value for everyone.

We were one of the first decorative and utilitarian ceramic companies in the world to obtain quality and environmental international accreditation according to the norms ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) in all our factories.

These events are simply milestones in our long journey towards continuous improvement of our products, processes and services, in order to maximize the benefits to our customers.
