ABOUT US
Our history, our goals and our motivation
Osório e Castro was founded in 1994 and has its headquarters in Braga. It arose from the need to fill the shortage of steel and metal suppliers in the Minho region, always doing so with speed and quality.
Its founder, owner and manager (1994-2017) Leonel F. Osório de Castro, a man of great character, imprinted the company with the same values that characterised him: rigour, integrity, seriousness and capacity for work.
With a tremendous amount of endeavour, he turned his idea into a successful business, and the company quickly became one of the main stockists and distributors of steel in the north of the country.
Bruno Rafael Osório de Castro Lima Ribeiro has been running the company since 2017. With the same values as his grandfather, he has a vision of the future, modernisation, evolution and expansion for the company.
In 2022, a second warehouse was opened in Águeda, with more than 2,000 square metres, allowing us to meet the needs and demands of the market, investing more and more in the variety and quantity of materials available in stock for immediate delivery.
Osório de Castro makes all its employees part of a close-knit family, putting its customers first.
We retain our values from the past, which are our core, but we have the desire and ambition to move dynamically towards the future.
