About Aquinos

From Tradition to Global Impact

The Aquinos Story

Turning Ambition into Industry Excellence

It all began with a child and a dream. Carlos Aquino knew his calling — he wanted to craft furniture that combined quality, innovation and comfort.

In 1985, he convinced his brothers, Antonio and Jorge, to join him in building a factory together. Their passion and dedication have grown Aquinos into one of Europe's leading manufacturers of high-quality furniture and sleep solutions to its retail partners.
