Carmo Form is dedicated to the development and construction of wooden structures, with a strong focus on engineering and industrial production. It operates in areas such as modular housing, urban furniture, structures for tourism, and large wooden constructions. It is present in France, Italy, Spain, and Africa, offering an industrialised and sustainable construction model rather than just products.
In a sector still dominated by conventional construction models, Carmo Form emerges as a response to the need to transform how wooden buildings are designed and built. As a result of the strategic restructuring of Carmo Wood, the company was created not to re[1]organise what already existed but to rethink the entire value chain. João Figueiredo, CEO of Carmo Form's business area, says: ‘While the future is being discussed, we are already building it in our factory.’
The starting point was the realisation that sustainable growth in the construction sector could not continue to be based on artisanal methods, which are scattered and subject to the unpredictability of the construction con[1]text. João Figueiredo summarises this vision: “Carmo Form was born out of the urgent need to industrialise what had been done by hand for decades intelligently”. And he adds: ‘Restructuring was not about reorganising, it was about rethinking. It was not about growth; it was about scaling up with a method”. This new paradigm is based on a simple but disruptive idea: building in a factory is synonymous with quality, rigour and sustainability.
