Castelbel was founded by Aquiles Barros in 1999, in Castêlo da Maia, whose name inspired the brand itself: “Castel” refers to its place of origin, while “Bel” evokes beauty, reflecting the union of tradition, sophistication and craftsmanship.
Today, the company is part of the BR Investments Group, a Portuguese group with a diversified investment strategy and a long-term vision.
This marks a new chapter in the brand’s history, strengthening its solidity and ambition for sustainable growth, while preserving the values on which it was founded.
With Portuguese roots and a global outlook, Castelbel continues to create products that tell stories, awaken emotions and celebrate the beauty found in life’s small, everyday gestures.
