Farilu – Joalharias, Ferreira & Mercier, Ilídio dos Santos Galeiras & Cª and José Carlos e Filhas – Joalheiros were the four AORP associated companies that received the distinction of PME Excellence.

The PME Excellence status is a seal of reputation that allows companies to relate to their environment – suppliers, customers, financial system, and national and regional authorities – on a basis of trust that facilitates the development of their business.

The award-winning companies are selected by IAPMEI and Turismo de Portugal from the PME Líder universe, in fair recognition of their merit and contribution to the results of the economy.

“The distinction is particularly important for exporting organisations or those with international migration ambitions, as it constitutes a differentiation factor and a guarantee of the solidity and suitability of the companies,” says AORP in its newsletter.
