HISTORY

Joaquim Landeau and Lúcio Rodrigues, met when working in the glass industry, at the time one of the most developed industries in the region and the largest in our country. Both decided in 1955 to found one of the first mold companies in Oliveira de Azeméis, Moldoplástico, which would become one of the largest national companies in the sector.

In 1971, more precisely on August 27, Joaquim Landeau and Lúcio Rodrigues, with the help of another element with technical knowledge of injection, César Guedes, decided to create a new company in the area of injection with the main objective of testing the molds manufactured at the Moldoplástico.

For several years Joluce worked as a complement to the Moldoplástico for the tests and trials of the molds that were produced there and also as a manufacturer of parts in series, under a subcontracting regime.

In 1990, the first chair hull is manufactured, which would become the boost of the company's current core business, and ten years later, the first monobloc chair mold was manufactured in the company, which is still today the mold that every year more parts produce and sell to various parts of the globe.

This was to be the starting point for a growth of the company, with the manufacture of many more molds of outdoor furniture, which led to the fact that in 2005 a great investment had been made in the change of facilities. Joluce would move from Oliveira de Azeméis for the Ecoparque Empresarial de Estarreja, where it has a total area of more than 20,000 m2.

It is here that the company consolidates itself as one of the largest manufacturers in the Iberian Peninsula and the largest national in 3 areas:
- Garden furniture
- The customized terraces, in which Joluce was one of the pioneers with the use of IML (In Mold Labeling) technology
- And more recently with premium materials for the Contract furniture.

In 2017, this growth would also have the consequence of the requalification of the old installations of Oliveira de Azeméis. Today your activity is divided between Oliveira de Azeméis and Estarreja.
Currently, it has more than 80 employees.
