Ambassador visits ProCork
The Australian Ambassador to Portugal, Luke Williams, recently visited ProCork's new factory near Porto and was impressed by what he saw.

"It is great to see an Australian company working with Portugal in the search for environmentally friendly solutions," Mr Williams said.
