Pontual Bankruptcy with 60 Workers on Vigil in Bacalhau's Hands

Jornal de Negócios1 September 2026 at 12:57

The court decided to appoint an insolvency administrator for Pontual, a footwear manufacturer from Gaia, which closed without prior notice on July 31, leaving 60 workers on vigil.

The company closed its doors suddenly, without any prior notice to the employees, who were left without answers about their labor rights and outstanding payments.

The 60 affected workers are on vigil, protesting against the unexpected closure and demanding explanations and their due labor rights.

The same businessman who led Cristina Ferreira's bankrupt online store is now at the forefront of this insolvency situation at Pontual.
