EAL: tradition and excellence in Angolan graphic arts.
Edições de Angola Lda was founded on 26 June 1953 and began its journey in the Angolan printing market. On 17 April 1969 the company was acquired in full by one of its partners, Silvino Norberto, opening a new chapter in its history. From 1985 his son, Carlos Arques Santos, took over as Managing Partner — a position he still holds — ensuring continuity and strategic vision.
In a market as dynamic as Angola’s, which demands rapid adaptation, Edições de Angola has established itself as one of the largest national companies in the graphic arts sector. Our success comes from the harmony of four fundamental pillars: premises, machinery, people and the company–client relationship.
