Portuguese Materials for the Canadian Market
LusoCan represents Portuguese manufacturers in Canada — building the right partnerships and bringing high-quality materials to market with a focus on long-term growth.
LusoCan represents Portuguese manufacturers across four primary building material categories — natural stone, cork, ceramic & porcelain tile and engineered wood. These are the categories where Portuguese production has clear technical and commercial advantages in the Canadian market.
Adjacent product categories may be considered on a case-by-case basis for manufacturers whose products complement these primary categories or fit specific Canadian market opportunities.

Explore Opportunties in the Canadian Market
A real alternative to traditional premium imports — Portugal is built for Canadian projects.
Canadian architects and developers have long sourced premium building materials from Italy, Spain, and Brazil. Portugal has been quieter in the conversation — but the position is shifting.
Portuguese stone, cork, and ceramic tile carry recognized design heritage. Named varieties like Moca Crème limestone, Estremoz marble, and Portuguese porcelain have been specified into landmark projects across Europe and the United States for decades. The materials are established. The craftsmanship is recognized.
Under CETA, Portuguese materials enter Canada at 0% duty, landing at price points that compete directly with traditional premium imports. The commercial opportunity is real — and growing as Canadian projects look beyond their established sources.
