JOSÉ DE MELLO

José de Mello is a notable Portuguese conglomerate, deeply rooted in Portugal's industrial and business history. This family-controlled group has its origins in the Companhia União Fabril (CUF), founded in 1898 by Alfredo da Silva. Over the years, it has diversified into various sectors including healthcare, chemicals, senior care services, infrastructure, and mobility.

The group's healthcare operations are branded under CUF, which includes several hospitals and clinics across Portugal, making it a prominent name in private healthcare. In the chemical sector, José de Mello operates through Bondalti, which emerged from the historical chemical operations of the CUF group.

José de Mello is also significant in the infrastructure sector, particularly through its involvement in Brisa, Portugal’s leading motorway operator. Although in 2020, the group sold a majority stake in Brisa to a consortium of international investors, it retains a significant minority stake and continues to play a role in its management.

José de Mello has shown adaptability and growth through strategic divestitures and acquisitions, shaping its business portfolio to optimize growth and focus on core areas like healthcare and infrastructure.
