Lasa was founded by Armando da Silva Antunes in1971. After working for many years in trade, particularly selling handkerchiefs and kitchen cloths, the company began with an industrial project exclusively dedicated to making terry cloth bath towels in 1980. For the past 30 years, LASA has founded and bought companies following a continuous policy of solidification, the creation of critical mass, size and the search for new opportunities, meaning that today it can offer a wide range of home textiles.
