Manuel E. Miranda

Molds for the Plastics and Die Casting Industries

Manuel E. Miranda, Lda

Our company was founded in 1981 under the name of Manuel E. Miranda Lda, by incorporation of the business developed by one of its founders since 1973.

We are situated in the town of Marinha Grande which was the cradle of the plastics injection molds industry and is today one of its main centers in Portugal.

The plastic moldmaking industry was born here due mainly to the existence of a large and long industrial tradition in making molds for the pressing and rotational molding of glass articles used in the big local glass factories. The technical and labour aptitude here available were the big step ahead in the way to the new challenge to start making molds for the plastic molding industry beginning of the 4th decade of past century.

We are located around 130Km north of Lisbon and about an 1 hour from Lisbon airport on the A8 motorway.
