Pinhais Cannery & Co is a unique artisan factory of the Portuguese canning industry in the heart of Matosinhos.
It is the only canning company in Portugal that continues to produce using the hand method. Every day women working on a factory are carefully cutting carrots, peppers and onions, and then put 3 selective sardines inside the box. Next, the can is handed over to the final processes of fulfillment and packing.
