MANULENA® is a Portuguese brand of candles, diffusers and cosmetics that seeks to offer sophistication and style, inspired by quality products. The story of the Portuguese brand MANULENA® began 50 years ago, when Manuel Pedro Custódio, a determined and ambitious man, would cycle to the doors of churches and the Sanctuary of Fátima to sell the devotional candles he made himself. Founded in 1968, he quickly grew the business and, moving beyond religious and lighting candles, the MANULENA® brand expanded into decorative and home ambience lines and, more recently, into cosmetics. Passed from parents to children, the Portuguese brand MANULENA® has always grown sustainably and upheld high standards of excellence. This has enabled it to export for leading international brands in demanding luxury markets such as the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany and the United States, in volumes that already account for more than half of its turnover. MANULENA®’s goal is to continue investing in technology and people, thereby fulfilling its mission to grow the brand and to preserve the name and history built over these 50 years of activity.
