About Us
Founded in 1912, Conservas Portugal Norte, Lda. is a century-old company that has established itself as one of the country’s leading canneries. Over generations, our history has been built on tradition, know-how, and the quality of our products, always rooted in Portuguese canning culture.
Our production unit in Matosinhos benefits from its proximity to the fishing port, allowing us to transform fresh fish into canned products that reach consumers in Portugal and in various international markets.
Years later, motivated by the company’s success, we invested in the creation of a new production unit located in the Fishing Port of Figueira da Foz. Briosa Conservas de Pescado was born out of the need to increase production capacity and still works hand in hand with Conservas Portugal Norte, to reach more and more markets and consumers.
Over the years, we have combined the adoption of new production technologies with the preservation of the quality of Portuguese Tradition in canned fish, always maximizing the excellent flavor of our products. All stages of the production process—from the careful selection of raw materials to the effective control of production—are part of a rigorous process of analysis and monitoring of critical control points (HACCP).
Portugal Norte owns the brands Porthos, Inês, and Conserveira, among others, and is recognized worldwide for the quality of its products. Always attentive to the needs of its customers, the company’s main goal is to offer a healthy product (completely natural, without any preservatives, and very rich in Omega-3), of excellent quality and at highly competitive prices.
In February 2025, the company entered a new chapter in its journey, becoming part of a business group with strong ties to the fishing sector and the canning industry. This change in management reinforces our strategic positioning and ensures the continuity of a mission that spans more than a century: preserving tradition, innovating in quality, and bringing the very best of Portuguese canned fish to tables around the world.
