ublic announcement reveals that the Rodilla Group is planning a strategic growth for their Portuguese division. The aim is to bolster its distinct Portuguese identity and accelerate its global reach.
This initiative marks the Rodilla Group's inaugural venture in Portugal and the second step in their international enlargement, following their 2019 debut in Miami.
