Mármores Central Porto de Mós

Silvério Martins created Mármores Central Porto de Mós in May 1961. Being in the industry from a young age, he holds a deep knowledge of the stones, the industry, and a creative spirit continuously looking for innovative solutions. His children were brought up listening to stories of stone, a hard material, worked on by hardened men and women. A product of the land, revered by its nobility and character.

MCPM began business with the production of stone slabs, with two gang saws, working for both the internal and external markets. The company grew organically and developed consistently through the years, reaching the structure it has today, which allows it to supply a wide and diversified range of products, materials, and projects at the highest quality levels. MCPMs mission is to provide its clients with global stone solutions at the highest standards.

MCPM asked our help to reinvent their brand. They wanted their brand to reflect the modernity of their practice and the ambition of their management while representing their core values of quality based on tradition and honesty. The company has deep roots in its town of birth, Porto de Mós. Not only the name of the town is a part of the company name, but MCPM is a household name in the area. Porto de Mós is well known by its distinctive castle, which predates the 12th century, before the very first Portuguese King, D. Afonso Henriques. Its distinctive figure stands proud as the town's main symbol, and it's at a close distance from the MCPM facilities.

We used this remarkable building as a foundation for the design. Its silhouette and peculiar towers are built in the logo and lend a traditional feel to the otherwise minimal and elegant design.
