The plastic mould industry began in 1943 in Marinha Grande, in a small glass mould company, on the initiative of Aníbal H. Abrantes, but without the consent of his partner and brother Aires Roque, who therefore sold his position in the company and continued his activity in the glass industry. Two years later, Abrantes produced the first injection mould for plastic.

The industry developed with the import of foreign technology and, in 1955, exports began with the sale of the first moulds to Great Britain. By 1980, the industry was already exporting to more than 50 countries and in the Marinha Grande area alone there were 54 companies operating, employing around 2,000 people.
