Founded in 1995, Futurocol, Industry and Trade of Orthopedic Products Lda, was immediately recognized in the bedding industry by its innovative profile.
Futurocol initiated its activity in the trade of products intented for rest in modest installations, flowing its products, in a first phase, in the Central and South zones of the Country.
Its development will be marked by creativity and technological innovation. The incessant research in the improvement of the quality of its products for the market of rest has directed Futurocol towards the expansion of its activity.
With the view to expanding the business, in 2002 the company acquired new facilities in the northern part of the country. It is a complex of large dimensions where it is possible to house all the process of production. With this acquisition we have achieved our autonomy and can now increase our activity by looking for new partnerships.
For a decade we have gained a significant share of the national market, in a balanced form, and internalization has become the next step. Exports currently account for 40%of our production, pointing out that even with this degree of flow, foreign markets are still little exploited, which means that there is great potential for expansion.
The market in which Futurocol is inserted is characterized by strong competition, it is essential to carry out unflagging research in the creation of innovative and apelative products. By using its strategic vision, Futurocol invents in 2004, the unique fully adjustable mattress. This invention dinamizes the company and allows it to strengthen its position in the market. To protect ourselves from competition we have patented our invention domestically and internationally (PT 103128, US 7 690 060 B2, PCT/IB 2004/003191). This invention consists of an adjustable mattress that does not require any specific mattress base to provide a perfect articulation. This mattress can be equipped with a vibromassage system and is intented for the Consumer market having a particular application in the field of Health and Prevention while being part of the group of products that offer comfort and Wellness.
Given the increasing competitiveness of the market and, consequently, greater demands from customers, it was found to be vital to implement a Quality Management System, as a way of improving the internal organization and the quality of products and services through commitment of its suppliers, employees and customers. The quality of Futurocol is thus assumed as a state of mind by all its members, that is, involvement and collaboration for the same purposes is assimilated by everyone as essential to achieving the objectives.
An Environmental Policy must be understood as a set of principles and ideas, of dynamic conception and formalization, embodied in a text that guides and frames the definition of objectives and lines of action, coherent and structured, in the field of the environment.
In this context, the Environmental Policy must enshrine its own evolution, resulting from reflection motivated by new challenges and problems. It must also strategically reconcile structural and operational problems with relevance to the environment and sustainable development.
A national Environmental Policy is inseparable from the development model, especially with regard to regional balances. It must be universal, but respecting differences, so as to be applicable to the entire national territory, to most activities, organizations and companies, contributing to the full exercise of environmental citizenship.
An Environmental Policy constitutes a benchmark for compliance with the objectives, laws, norms and instruments that emanate from it, enshrining the right and duty of all citizens to participate in its construction, to the extent of the degree of responsibility of each entity or agent.
The Environmental Policy should also enhance integration with other sectoral policies, promoting and ensuring sustainable development.
