Portuguese Cork. Musical Precision. Since 1945.

Portuguese precision that shapes music

Since 1945, Sá Rosas has turned one of Portugal’s most extraordinary raw materials into precision components for demanding musical instruments. The cork is born in the montado, the Portuguese cork oak forest, passes through three generations and reaches each instrument with the same commitment: to keep in every sheet the rigour and consistency of the one before.
