Curel Cutlery: Portuguese Leadership in Professional and Household Knives
When it comes to high-quality cutlery, the Portuguese brand Curel stands out as a benchmark. Since its founding, Curel has focused its production excellence on the manufacture of knives, pocketknives, and kitchen utensils, combining artisanal tradition with cutting-edge technology to offer superior performance products. If you are looking for the highest quality and guaranteed comprehensive service, Curel is the preferred choice for both home and professional use.
Curel's activity is overwhelmingly focused on knives, representing more than 70% of its total production. Each piece from the brand is a testament to the fusion of industrial precision and the expert touch of the artisan.
Durability and cutting performance are pillars of Curel quality:
High-Hardness Steel: The knives are manufactured using high-hardness carbon-molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel blades, an alloy that guarantees excellent edge retention and resistance.
Advanced Tempering: State-of-the-art tempering technologies are employed in controlled-atmosphere furnaces to ensure the optimal molecular structure of the blade.
Robotic Precision: Initial sharpening and polishing are performed on automated CNC machines, ensuring millimeter precision.
Despite modernization, Curel maintains the essence of traditional cutlery. Assembly, finishing, and final sharpening are carried out by hand by master cutlers, guaranteeing quality and perfection in every detail of the blade.
Curel was founded in 1977 with the initial objective of meeting the needs of the regional market. However, the intrinsic quality of its products fueled rapid expansion. Growing demand from national and international markets prompted strategic investments in technological modernization and expansion of its facilities, which today cover an area of approximately 9,000 m². This investment has improved its competitiveness through cost optimization. Currently, Curel's success is reflected in the distribution of its sales, with 50% destined for the Portuguese national market and the rest for international export, consolidating its growing presence and recognition in the cutlery sector.
