One of our last days in Lisbon we visited a plastic and polymer company called "Carfi". While there we learned that they have two headquarters, one in Portugal and one in Poland. They receive orders from companies to make products ranging from garden tools to electronics (since they deal with both there). It was amazing that the operation was so big since we learned that it was a family owned company. While there we were shown around the factory and got to see them in the process of producing their current orders. The factory was filled with the scent of plastic and we came out of there with the scent on our skin. I don't know how the workers can deal with it all day.
They were very nice at the business and offered us a light lunch of soup and bread. I've noticed that at many of these businesses they are very accomodating and welcoming to us and wonder how much that would differ if they were an American company.
