Event logistics specialists Europalco has announced the expansion of its logistics infrastructure in Portugal, with larger facilities in Porto and a new warehouse in the Algarve.
The company, which claims to be the largest provider of solutions for events and shows in Southern Europe, says the move will boost its ability to support events with local equipment, technical teams, and faster regional response.
The new facilities mark an important step in the company’s shift from a centralised logistics structure to a network-based model. By establishing permanent operational bases in two of Portugal’s main event regions, Europalco is also reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transport of heavy structures and equipment.
The warehouses will function as local logistics hubs, with permanent stock of audiovisual equipment, furniture, and structures to support events in the country. Their primary role is to ensure that setups and technical support are carried out with local resources, reducing dependence on the company’s headquarters in Sintra and making project delivery more efficient.
The expansion also supports the wider Europalco ecosystem, with Rise operating in the Algarve, and New Audiovisuais and AV Tech in the North, including Porto. These companies are part of Europalco’s ecosystem, allowing the strengths of each brand, from AV technology to complex structures, to be deployed locally through a shared logistics structure.
“Operating with local infrastructure in Porto and the Algarve allows Europalco to respond with greater speed, consistency, and efficiency in two strategic regions of the country,” said Pedro Magalhães, founder and CEO of Europalco. “It also represents an important step in the group’s move toward a more agile and sustainable logistics model in Portugal.”
