SICOR is founded
The company is founded in Cortegaça and specializes in the production of ropes and nets for commerce, industry, agriculture and fishing.
SICOR is a multinational company specialized in the production of cordage and netting for different sectors of activity. It was founded in 1947 in Portugal, more specifically in Cortegaça (Ovar), becoming the first mechanical factory in the Aveiro District regarding the cordage sector. It only started working in 1952 and, at that time, its products were manufactured exclusively from natural fibers.
Currently, in addition to sisal, SICOR also produces from synthetic raw materials and offers a wide range of products including ropes, horticultural and baler twines, fishing nets and technical weavings.
SICOR is a company oriented towards international markets that exports, directly or indirectly, almost all of its production and segments its commercial activity into five business areas:
