About José Manuel De Mello
- José Manuel de Mello (December 8, 1927 – September 16, 2009), was a Portuguese businessman who founded the conglomerate Grupo José de Mello.
- He was the heir of an older industrial conglomerate, Companhia União Fabril (CUF), which had been founded by his grandfather Alfredo da Silva.
- José Manuel started to work for CUF until the Carnation Revolution military coup in Lisbon, on April 24, 1974.
- With the pro-communist inspiration of the radical events that followed the coup, José Manuel de Mello had to leave the country in 1975.
- Some years later, as democracy and modern capitalism prevailed in post-revolutionary Portugal, Mello, like many other political refugees of the entrepreneurial class, returned to his country.
- He then resumed his business activities and ultimately built a business conglomerate - the Grupo José de Mello with strong interests on motorway infrastructure, healthcare and chemicals.
- He had 12 children.
