Shareholders
Shareholders of CERUTIL – CERÂMICAS UTILITÁRIAS, S.A.
CERUTIL – CERÂMICAS UTILITÁRIAS, S.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary rather than a company with a dispersed shareholder base. Its entire share capital is held by VAA – Vista Alegre Atlantis, SGPS, S.A. (NIPC 500978654), which acquired 100% of Cerutil’s capital from Grupo Visabeira for EUR 48.5 million in a transaction reported as completed on 31 August 2018, according to contemporaneous reporting by Jornal Económico and ECO. Portugal’s central register of beneficial owners (RCBE) does not present a separate, itemised public shareholder filing for Cerutil beyond this reported transaction; the position described here reflects the single-shareholder structure reported at the time of the acquisition and is consistent with the corporate-linkage data on file. No subsequent change to this ownership has been identified in the sources reviewed (retrieved 22 September 2026).
Ultimate beneficial ownership
VAA – Vista Alegre Atlantis, SGPS, S.A., Cerutil’s direct owner, is itself majority controlled by Grupo Visabeira SGPS, S.A. and related holding entities. According to Jornal Económico (5 October 2023), NCFGEST, S.A. – reported by that outlet as owned by Fernando Campos Nunes, the businessman behind Grupo Visabeira – together with related Visabeira-group entities, held 91.20% of VAA’s share capital as of 29 September 2023. On this basis, Fernando Campos Nunes is publicly reported as the individual behind the group that ultimately controls Cerutil through VAA. A precise calculated effective ownership percentage in Cerutil itself is not provided here, because the exact intermediate stakes between NCFGEST and Grupo Visabeira, and between Grupo Visabeira and VAA, are not fully disclosed in the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for Cerutil in Portugal is best described as major-shareholders-only / transaction-based: no percentage-by-percentage RCBE extract is publicly viewable for this entity, so this overview relies on reported acquisition and share-increase transactions rather than a complete beneficial-ownership register filing.
