J. Rodrigues & J. - Indústria de Malhas Exteriores, Lda. at Barcelos, Portugal 

I only know this factory from my last visit in Portugal, but our agency works with them for quite a while. If one would imagine a Portuguese supplier for knitwear, it probably would look exactly like this one: A big two-story building, offices crammed to the ceiling with garments, more rumbling knitting machines than workers and a friendly, middle aged man, who doesn’t speaks any English (doesn’t speak a lot at all), but you know he is well aware of everything and he knows the tiniest peculiarity of each machine.
