About Cork
What is cork Cork comes from the cork oak, a tree native of the Mediterranean region and extends to countries such as Portugal, Spain, France, Italy nothern Africa and recently in Austrålia! Portugal alone, provides more than 50% of the worlds cork production and the extraction method is completely eco-friendly to the tree. Harvesting is a process that does not harm the tree in any way. The bark is extracted entirely by hand, without any machinery, by skilled, trained technicians - The tree is not cut down, it´s surface does not suffer damages and the trees can last hundreds of years.
Portugal has the largest cork oak forest in the world – 715.000 hectares. The cork oak tree can live untill around 200 years old, being harvested for the first time at about 25 years old and then every 9 years. Only in so many years will the bark reach the minimum thickness required to provide the high quality cork we need for manufacturing of our high quality products. Besides the sustainability of cork production, it is important to know that growing, harvesting, caring and enhancing the planting of new corktrees is extremely important for our eco-system. We are proud to be part of this cycle to contribute to an eco-friendly world. Our aim is to preserve this ancient rural culture that co exists perfectly with nature.

About us
About us
The Cork Tree was founded by Nuno Nascimento. From an early age he went with his grandfather to the Portuguese cork oak forest learning all the tricks that nature presents, knowing the properties owner´s, studying the tree´s and the best region´s just to search for the best cork bark and transform it into cork products suitable for commercialization. Even today, the family tradition continues to sell cork bark to the cork stopper industry from it´s own 500 hectares cork plantation and other cork areas. Conscious of it´s hereditary property, Nuno spended about 350.000,00€ in the last 8 years in the maintenance of the properties, which includes beyond the cleaning and fertilizing the cork oak forest also the plantation of 40.000 new cork trees. As a golfer, Nuno wondered why amateur players walked around with golf bags commonly offered by the standard golf manufactures. Nuno decided to offer fashionable golf
bags and other golf related products from the noble, eco-friendly and distinctly Portuguese material; the cork leather. The first introduction of these unique products was to sponsor the presence of the Portuguese professional golf player António Rosado at his presence at the European Tour Portugal Masters 2011. After this appearance, the next introduction of these unique products was the PGA Golf Show in Orlando, Florida in 2013 that was received with great enthusiasm. The Cork Tree became the first company in the world to produce golf products in cork leather. Company philosophy Cork is 100% natural, biodegradable and sustainable material. Cork leather has unlimited design possibilities for various products. We want to contribute to a more eco-friendly and greener world and cork leather can provide this without compromising functionality, durability and general quality.
