Since 1996

30years of doing things well

Three decades of developing
knitted fabrics in Portugal

We started out in 1996 with a simple belief: a well-developed knitted fabric is always the starting point for a good garment.

In 2026, we are celebrating 30 years of experience, expertise and dedication to the textile sector. Three decades of working with brands and partners around the world, with the same high standards, close relationships and commitment as always.

Knitted Fabric Production

At Basílio Malhas, we work side by side with established brands and emerging projects, helping each client to find and develop the right textile solution for their project.

 

Based on the requirements of each collection, we identify the right raw materials, structures and characteristics, and oversee the entire process.
