MDFGO
We Are Art Producers
The passion for Art is in the heart of each one of us.
At MDFGO our passion for Art is expressed in the dedication we put into each project.
For years we have planned, built and merged, and in each of these projects we leave a part of that passion.
About Us
Founded in 2001, the MDFGO is prepared for the reproduction and restoration of bronze sculptures, statues, reliefs and monuments.
Today we work with sculptors, architects, institutions and companies, managing to execute any project from its original idea to the final installation.
WE ARE MAKERS
MDFGO is a space dedicated to the research, development and production of sculptures in various materials such as Bronze, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Resin and Fiberglass.
Founded in 2001, the company is located in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal, and offers a wide range of services for visual artists and sculptors.
History and Mission
MDFGO was created with the aim of providing a collaborative environment where artists can transform their artistic visions into three-dimensional objects. Our mission is to support artistic creation through traditional and innovative casting techniques and the production of sculptures or art objects.
WE ARE KNOWHOW
We have the technical and human capacity to, starting from a sketch, even if drawn on a paper napkin, translate any artistic vision into a three-dimensional object.
In addition to the Art Foundry, we have a fully equipped Ceramics Studio, a space dedicated to the production of Silicone Rubber Molds, a space for the production of Resin and Fiberglass sculptures and finally a Studio fully equipped with technologies such as 3D scanning and three-dimensional printing.
It is this multidisciplinary space that allows us to respond quickly to our clients’ requests, whether they are in Portugal or anywhere in the world.
Impact in the Artistic Community
MDFGO has a significant impact on the local, national and international artistic community.
By offering an accessible and well-equipped space, the foundry allows artists to undertake projects that would otherwise be unfeasible due to high costs and technical complexity.
We have a highly experienced technical team that allows us to analyze the viability of all artistic projects that are presented to us so that they can be executed without delays or budget overruns.
