Footwear factory Asial in Vizela closes, 101 workers dismissed

The Asial factory in Vizela has closed and the insolvency administrator has dismissed all 101 workers. Until 2020 more than 150 people worked at the same site for the footwear maker Alberto Sousa, whose restructuring procedure ended in November 2020; the report says both firms have the same owner. The article does not give the exact closure date, so the date is the publication day (Jornal de Negócios, 10 Nov 2026).
