Old Tupperware factory in Constância sold for 4 million euros

The former Tupperware factory in Montalvo was sold for four million euros, with hopes for job creation in the area. The sale followed an auction where the initial bid of 3.8 million euros was rejected. The final price was reached after negotiations with the workers. The buyer is a knife manufacturing company from Leiria, but their plans for the site remain unclear. Former employees expressed mixed feelings about the sale price, noting that many will only recover a portion of their owed credits. The factory, which employed around 260 people, ceased operations in January 2025 and was declared insolvent shortly after.
