About TUPAI
TUPAI is a Portuguese hardware manufacturer (Tupai, S.A.) producing pulls (handles/extractors), hinges, locks and home accessories. According to the company, it controls the production process from raw material to finished product and relies on its own surface developments, such as the premium finish collection LUME, the antibacterial and anti-allergenic finish PROTECTION, the texture line 5S Texturas (e.g. 4213 5S Texture, 3957 Privé) and the Natural Brass Finish. Since 2021, production has reportedly been powered by clean, renewable energy from the company's own photovoltaic system; in the same year, the sales company TUPAI Polska was founded. In Tunisia, TUPAI is represented by the sales company TUPAI Tunisie in Ariana (Mnihla), which operates a showroom as the brand's first location in Tunisia. The company is present at trade fairs such as FIMMA + Maderalia and was once again awarded the SIBS ESG Reporting Steward seal in 2025.
