METALÚRGICA BENAVENTENSE, LDA
Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda is a Portuguese private limited company (sociedade por quotas) registered under number 500191980. Its registered address is in Samora Correia, Benavente, Santarém district (postal code 2135-324), and the company is recorded as active in Portugal’s company registry, maintained by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN).
Founded in 1919 in Benavente, Metalúrgica Benaventense began by repairing and manufacturing corn-shelling machines, corn huskers and balers. As rice cultivation expanded in the Ribatejo region it added centrifugal water pumps, and from 1945 it moved into plows and other soil-preparation implements, later adding disc plows, scarifiers and subsoilers.
The company operates in the metalworking and agricultural-machinery manufacturing sector, producing tillage equipment — principally plows and related soil-working implements — for agricultural dealers and farm operators, marketed under the Ribatejo brand.
An active registry status reflects the company’s current standing on the commercial register; it is not, by itself, evidence that the company is currently trading or financially stable. No reliable recent revenue, employee-count or stock-exchange information was located for the legal entity in the sources reviewed as of 22 September 2026.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda
No individual shareholders are named for Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda in the sources reviewed. Quota-holder filings for Portuguese sociedades por quotas are held by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN) and beneficial-ownership data is reported separately to the Registo Central do Beneficiário Efetivo (RCBE); neither register publishes this data as open data accessible through the free public sources reviewed for this profile (retrieved 22 September 2026).
The one ownership event identified is corporate rather than personal: according to the acquiring company’s own corporate website, Joper – Indústria de Equipamentos Agrícolas, S.A. (NIPC 500366918) acquired the entirety of Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda’s share capital in 2013. No further breakdown of that holding, and no natural-person ultimate beneficial owner, could be verified.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner is publicly disclosed for Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda through the sources reviewed. This omission reflects the limits of publicly accessible Portuguese RCBE data, not evidence that no UBO exists.
Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for this company is classified as Partial: a single corporate acquisition (2013, full capital) is verified via the acquiring company’s own website, but Portugal’s formal quota-holder and beneficial-ownership registers were not accessible as open data to confirm holding percentages or identify any individual UBO.

Officers
Directors and officers of Metalúrgica Benaventense, Lda

Portugal’s commercial registry (Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado) records gerentes for sociedades por quotas, but this information was not accessible as open data through the free public sources searched, and no reliable Portuguese business-press coverage naming the company’s current gerentes was located.
Data availability
Officer information for this company is classified as Not found: no reliable, officially sourced record identifying current or former gerentes/administrators was located.
