Our work and what we have measured.

First the films. Then the numbers we counted, with the source next to them.

Demo films

Generic machines, created on our own initiative. None was commissioned. Each carries the demo label.

Mobile crusher · quarry · demo film
Own production, 2026. When a manufacturer commissions a film, theirs goes here with the model name.

Where Portuguese machines go

137 countries received Portuguese machines from our sectors in 2025, worth 187 million euros. Spain, the Netherlands, France and Angola lead.

Country and market data, not client results.

The Italians publish four times more

We compared 20 Italian and 15 Portuguese manufacturers of stone, crushing and agricultural machinery. The share with an active channel is the same. The cadence is not.
