1. Acquired know-how through wide experience in the market

J.A. Beira has been in the national market for cork stoppers since 1979. Since our foundation, we have stood out as one of the main suppliers for producers and bottlers of still wines, port wine, whiskeys, cognacs, liqueurs and brandies.

Currently, J.A. Beira maintains a significant volume of business, taking into account its needs, in order to identify opportunities for improvement and monitor the evolution of the markets through the respective solutions.

The experience we have acquired over more than 40 years has enabled us to obtain decisive know-how for the production of quality cork stoppers. So, in 2012, we created the Premium Series, a range aimed at luxury products.

The value proposition of this range consists of the development of personalized products and the use of noble materials, such as wood or metal, adding value to your final product. The entire collage process is carried out piece by piece, which is why it is handcrafted, exclusive and 100% personalized.

Check out 3 examples of technological equipment at the level of production that we have acquired in recent years:

Super Clean Plus

The acquisition of Super Clean Plus equipment, a disinfection process, responds to the growing needs of the market, from a sensory point of view. Another reason that led us to purchase this equipment was the growing need, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure the disinfection and sterilization of all products.

3D Choice

J.A. Beira decided to invest in 3D Choice equipment, not with the aim of making the final choice for the customer, but to make a pre-choice. All cork stoppers undergo this process, with final hand selection ensuring the highest quality for our customers.

Automatic Gluing

We invested in new automatic gluing equipment as a result of the growing need for gluing non-standard stoppers. This enables us to respond faster, increasing flexibility and efficiency while enhancing your experience with our company.

4. Meticulous quality control

The Quality Control Department tests products during and after production to ensure conformity with internal and customer specifications.

To do this, we carry out various tests, including dimensional analysis, which consists of analyzing the length and diameter dimensions of the stopper (in capsulated stoppers, the total length and the length of the exposed is also verified).

We perform sensory analysis to detect deviations in cork stoppers, ensuring they do not affect the final product quality.

In addition to these, we also control the levels of TCA (2,4,6-Trichloroanisole), by sampling, through the maceration of stoppers in a simulant which is standardized according to the standard and we determine whether this sample contains extractable TCA.

The Premium Series® undergoes detailed analyses to ensure product excellence and top-quality results from this exclusive process.
The result of this work and the joint effort of all our employees is the various quality certifications that we have been obtaining over time.
