Rodolfo Resende, CEO of Artevasi, stated: "I am delighted that Darren joins us at such an important time in the Artevasi journey. Over the past few years, we have built a solid foundation, including establishing Artevasi UK, developing more retail solutions for our partners, and opening our new state-of-the-art terracotta factory in Boialvo, Portugal, in October 2022. Darren will help us grow significantly in the UK market, and we cannot wait to keep growing together into this new chapter!".
Covering an area of 70,000 sqm and a large production and storage capacity, Artevasi ensures a remarkable level of service, capable of transforming 100 tons of the best clay per day into meaningful pots. This is a crucial moment in Artevasi's history, not only to have the most complete offer in the market but also to place a Portuguese footprint among the industry leaders.
With their own full production of three collections in recycled plastic, handmade ceramic and terracotta, Artevasi produces all their pots in Portugal, focusing on the quality of the raw material to create the most beautiful and ecological pots.
From reusing 100% of internal waste to developing ranges with recycled plastic, Artevasi believes that love and respect for Nature are within reach of small changes in each of us, and that's why they defend it every step of the way.
