The Slimcork®
Slimcork is the lifetime dream from a younger cork business man dreamer.
RCS Portugal Manager, Hugo Guimarães, started to follow his grandfather footsteps when he was a kid at 6 years old. Because his great grandfather’s cork factory was near the school in Lourosa, Hugo spent many hours there and developed an interest in machinery as well as in cork business. Being a truth believer in the cork as a noble product with unique characteristics such as impermeability, elasticity, odorless, Hugo always notice that something more besides the indisputable technical characteristics was necessary to keep the winemakers happy.
So, after his graduation as Mechatronics engineering, his 5 years stage in his grandfather cork factory and the building of an important alliance with Reliable Cork Solutions in USA, Hugo decides that the time to develop the old dream of an improved cork has come.
From 2009 to 2012 time was spend in the research of a cork that could join the unique and unquestionable natural cork characteristics to something that could improve the looking of a natural wine cork stopper.
SLIMCORK was born!
