BRAND ACH. BRITO®
ACH BRITO® is a century-old Portuguese company of soaps that holds a remarkable historical past. Under the motto «Preserve the past. Hearten the present. Challenge the future.», ACH BRITO® distinguishes itself because of the decades of experience it has, the quality of its products and the beauty of its labels. With a history that dates back to 1887, when Claus & Schweder was founded by Ferdinand Claus and George Schweder, two Germans living in Portugal, ACH BRITO® was founded in 1918, by brothers Affonso and Achilles de Brito. In 1925, ACH BRITO® bought Claus & Schweder and allied innovation with experience. After decades leading the market, and with the advent of new products – like shower gel, and new distribution networks – the company’s path was slowed down until 1994, when the great-grandchildren of Achilles de Brito, Aquiles and Sónia Brito, started leading ACH BRITO®. The company is restructured and the product portfolio is repositioned. With the new millennium, the wish to achieve new horizons grows, and ACH BRITO®’s luxury brand, CLAUS PORTO®, starts being placed in international markets. In 2008 Saboaria e Perfumaria Confiança, S.A., the second oldest soap factory in the country, is acquired, which means that ACH BRITO® is now a transversional presence in the market. Nowadays, ACH BRITO® invests in the reinforcement of its corporal image, respecting its own history and tradition, but never losing sight of the extreme importance of quality and innovation.
