Created in 1974, the first headquarters of J Gomes was located in Santo Ántonio, Covilhã. In 1990 it moved its facilities to the Industrial Park of Covilhã, where they remain to this day. Later, a unit was also acquired in the village of Tortosendo. Giving rise to 7 000 square meters of covered area and with about 30 workers.

AJ Gomes starts his activity by reusing waste left by other factories in the Portuguese industry.

In 2002 we set up the spinning line where we produce our yarn with textile waste.

The collection of textile waste is done through J Gomes vehicles that transport the waste materials from the production process of textile and clothing companies, whether yarns, fabrics or knits.

After collection, we separate all textile waste, by qualities and colors. In this way, J Gomes' impact is immediately reduced because it does not require dyeing the yarn to obtain the desired color, just like the material.

Our yarns have the same diversification of applications as any other yarn, such as clothing, sweaters, socks, home textiles, blankets, bedspreads, rugs, among others.
