About Cork
What is cork
Cork comes from the cork oak, a tree native of
the Mediterranean region and extends to coun-
tries such as Portugal, Spain, France, Italy
nothern Africa and recently in Austrália! Portu-
gal alone, provides more than 50% of the
worlds cork production and the extraction
method is completely eco-friendly to the tree.
Harvesting is a process that does not harm the
tree in any way. The bark is extracted entirely
by hand, without any machinery, by skilled,
trained technicians - The tree is not cut down,
it´s surface does not suffer damages and the
trees can last hundreds of years.
Portugal has the largest cork oak forest in the
world – 715.000 hectares. The cork oak tree can
live untill around 200 years old, being
harvested for the first time at about 25 years
old and then every 9 years. Only in so many
years will the bark reach the minimum thickness
required to provide the high quality cork we
need for manufacturing of our high quality
products. Besides the sustainability of cork
production, it is important to know that grow
ing, harvesting, caring and enhancing the plant
ing of new corktrees is extremely important for
our eco-system. We are proud to be part of this
cycle to contribute to an eco-friendly world. Our
aim is to preserve this ancient rural culture that
co exists perfectly with nature.
Why cork?
Cork is a material that is 100% natural, biode-
gradable and eco-friendly. Due to its elastic,
waterproof and fire resistant properties, cork is a
material with immense potential of multipor-
pose usage in various type of products. Cork
products will contribute more and more to a
cleaner and sustainable world, a very green
solution.

produced from quality bark trough advantaged
technology in combination with centuries of old
portuguese cork know how. It is a partial new
material since 2001 and is gaining rapid market
acceptance because it´s a natural product from
a renewable source. In recent times cork has
gained a wave of popularaty in the fashion
industry, cloth, bags, shoes, but also in furniture,
leisure products, sports industry and even in the
automotive and aerospace industry.
After the cork is harvested, it is transported to
the factory where the processing begins.
Think sheets of cork are made from the leftover
waste from producing wine stoppers.
These sheets are then backed with fabric and
cork leather is formed.

About us
About us
The Cork Tree was founded by Nuno Nascimento. From an early age
he went with his grandfather to the Portuguese family cork oak forest
learning all the tricks that nature presents. Studying and testing the
trees to find the best cork bark then transform them into cork products
suitable for commercialization. Today, the family tradition continues to
sell cork bark to the cork stopper industry from it´s own 500 hectares
cork plantation.
Conscious of it´s hereditary property, The Cork Tree family continues
to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in developing, protecting
and maintenance of the properties. Beyond cleaning and fertilizing the
cork oak forest the plantation continues to grow with some 40.000 new
cork trees being planted in the past 10 years.
As a golfer, Nuno wondered why amateur players walked around with
golf bags commonly offered by the standard golf manufactures. Nuno
decided to offer fashionable golf bags and other golf related products
from the noble, eco-friendly and distinctly Portuguese material; the
cork leather.
The first introduction of these unique products was to sponsor the presence of the
Portuguese professional golf player António Rosado at the European Tour Portugal
Masters 2011. After this appearance, the next introduction of these unique products
was the PGA Golf Show in Orlando, Florida and Augsburg, Germany in 2013 were that
was received with great enthusiasm. The cork leather golf cartbag won the prize of
Best Product Award in the golf bags category in the Golf Europe 2013.
The Cork Tree became the first company in the world to produce golf products in cork
leather.
Company philosophy Cork is 100% natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. Cork leather has
unlimited design possibilities for various products. We want to contribute to a more
eco-friendly and greener world and cork leather can provide this without compromising
functionality, durability and general quality.
