The award, presented on October 17, recognizes individuals whose contribution has been fundamental to the recognition of Portuguese stone, both in Portugal and beyond. It is a moment that touches us deeply and we couldn’t imagine anyone who represents it better.

Son of the founder of Grupo Galrão, Jorge Galrão has devoted his entire life to natural stone. He has done so with vision, rigor, and a profound respect for the material he transforms. Over the decades, he has helped establish Portuguese stone as a symbol of quality and excellence, earning the trust of architects, engineers, and creators around the world.

This recognition comes in a symbolic year for Grupo Galrão, as we celebrate 70 years of legacy. A story built with the same spirit that Eng. Jorge inspires in us every day: commitment, innovation, and a passion for what is authentic.

This award is his.
But it also belongs to everyone who believes in the value of Portuguese stone.

Thank you, Eng. Jorge.
Thank you, StonebyPORTUGAL.
