Notable facts
- One of the last canneries still running the fully traditional method — fish cooked before canning, then packed entirely by hand, one fish at a time.
- Nuri and Pinhais are the export and domestic labels of this single company, not separate businesses.
- Austria's Glatz food-distribution group acquired a 74% stake in Conservas Pinhais in 2017; production remains in Matosinhos.
