Tobis Portuguesa is a company based in Portugal specializing in film production and laboratory processing. Since its inception on June 3, 1932, Tobis has played a significant role in the development of Portuguese cinema, contributing numerous prominent films throughout a span of thirty years.
History
Established in 1932, Tobis concentrated on producing films and providing lab processing services. The company was responsible for several important titles from the 1930s through the 1950s, including A Canção de Lisboa and O Leão da Estrela.
In 1955, Tobis integrated Lisboa Filmes—one of Portugal's leading film production companies—thereby adding its film rights to the Tobis portfolio.
The company's growth continued in 2004 with the purchase of digital video transcription technology, and in 2005 it further extended its capabilities by acquiring Concept Films.
