Thanks to the excellence and enterprise of the companies based in the municipality, Famalicão is the third biggest exporter in the country and it has the second
highest trade surplus.With daring and strategic vision, Famalicão business people focused on internationalising their products and succeeded in gaining a foothold in highly demanding
