In the heart of Lorvão, a village with a strong tradition of craftsmanship, the production of toothpicks has been part of the local identity for decades. This tradition, which dates back to ancestral practices of manual manufacturing with willow and poplar wood, has evolved over the years into more specialized industrial processes, and FAPILOR has played a central role in this history.

The toothpicks produced in this region are not just practical utensils; they are also an expression of a tradition that has been kept alive over time, in the hands of artisans and manufacturers who have learned and perfected unique techniques. The name Lorvão has become associated with the quality and diversity of the toothpicks produced—from conventional models to specific models for various uses.

Founded in 1982, FAPILOR – Fábrica Paliteira de Lorvão Lda. has almost half a century of history linked to the trade and manufacture of toothpicks and other consumer goods. Over the years, the company has adapted its production methods to market demands, combining tradition with innovation, and maintaining its reputation for excellence among customers and partners.

The company's presence in Lorvão is also an important factor for the local economy, generating employment and keeping alive a craft tradition that is part of the cultural heritage of the Coimbra region. This commitment to the community is one of the pillars of FAPILOR's activities.
