More Than a Century of Portuguese Heritage

Ach. Brito's history is closely connected to Portugal's soap-making tradition. Before founding Ach. Brito, Achilles de Brito worked with Claus & Schweder, described by the company as Portugal's first soap factory. In 1918, Achilles and his brother Affonso established Ach. Brito in Porto. Ach.

The company expanded its reputation through soaps and fragrances while placing unusual emphasis on packaging and graphic design. Hand-painted labels became part of the brand's identity, eventually leading to the establishment of an in-house lithography studio in 1953. That visual heritage continues to influence Ach. Brito packaging today. Ach. Brito

Ach. Brito celebrated its centenary in 2018, marking 100 years of Portuguese soap and fragrance production. The company returned to ownership by the founding family in 2022, with Aquiles de Brito, the founder's great-grandson, taking ownership. Ach. Brito
