High-performance solutions tailored for Portuguese industrial standards and eco-friendly requirements.
Portugal is currently undergoing a significant industrial transformation, particularly in the packaging sector. Driven by the European Union's Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive and a national commitment to the circular economy, Portuguese manufacturers are rapidly transitioning from plastic to high-quality paper alternatives. As a leading hub for pulp and paper production in Europe—anchored by giants like The Navigator Company and Altri—Portugal possesses a unique strategic advantage: local access to premium raw materials.
In major industrial zones such as Setúbal, Aveiro, and the Greater Porto area, the demand for high-speed, automatic paper cup machines has surged. These machines are not just equipment; they are the backbone of a new sustainable economy that serves Portugal's thriving tourism industry, bustling café culture (from Lisbon's historic "A Brasileira" to modern specialty coffee shops), and the growing food delivery market.
With major ports like Sines and Leixões, Portugal serves as a gateway for advanced machinery imports and a distribution center for finished paper products across the Atlantic and Europe.
Portuguese law (Decree-Law No. 78/2021) strictly regulates single-use plastics, creating a massive market vacuum that only advanced paper cup manufacturing can fill.
Local factories are increasingly adopting Industry 4.0 standards, requiring machines with IoT capabilities, remote monitoring, and high energy efficiency.
The Automatic Paper Cup Machine industry in Portugal is moving toward specialization. We see three major trends:
Zhejiang Jinli Machinery Co., Ltd is located in Feiyun New District, Ruian City, Zhejiang Province, with more than 50 employees and a factory area of about 2,000 square meters. It is an enterprise integrating scientific research, design, production, sales and service, specializing in the production of a series of complete sets of equipment for paper containers such as paper cup machines and paper bowl machines.
The company has strong technical force and sophisticated equipment, with an average annual output of about 10 million RMB. Our products are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of international markets, including Germany, Australia, Turkey, and Portugal. Our core portfolio includes high-performance Paper Cup Machines, Fully Automatic Paper Bowl Machines, Open Cam Paper Bowl Machines, and Cup Cake Forming Machines.
Portugal's thousands of local bakeries and pastry shops require millions of small espresso paper cups daily. Our machines offer the precision needed for the traditional "Bica" size.
During peak summer seasons, the demand for disposable cold drink cups in resorts and beach bars skyrockets. High-speed automatic lines ensure supply meets seasonal peaks.
With the rise of Glovo and UberEats in Lisbon and Porto, sturdy, leak-proof paper bowls and double-wall cups are essential for the delivery economy.
