Ricardo Ribeiro

I began my journey in the biomass sector with the ambition of providing the Portuguese market with local heating solutions. I worked side by side with international manufacturers, developing solid and lasting partnerships.

I took on the challenge of developing wood-burning solutions for the Premium and Distribution segments, at a leading Spanish manufacturer focused on cast iron for local and central heating.

I joined an importer, continuing the development of leading European brands in the areas of firewood and pellets, always with a strong B2B orientation.

I joined the team of the leading manufacturer in biomass heating solutions in the Portuguese market. I assumed the role of Commercial Director and, with an aligned and committed team, I created três training centers — um em Portugal e dois em Espanha — including the respective certification.

I decided to close my chapter with the production unit, which operated in the Premium, Distribution and DIY segments, confident that I had turned business relationships into strategic alliances.

I built BIGAVAC on proximity, trust and responsibility. BIGAVAC is born from the conviction that the Portuguese heating market can — and should — operate at the level of the best European standards.

We work side by side with internationally renowned manufacturers, establishing solid and lasting partnerships.

I value long-term relationships with the different stakeholders.

I believe that the people and trust are what build the BIGAVAC brand.

BIGAVAC is a company with a passion for detail, directly involved in projects, with a constant pursuit of innovation and an emphasis on caring for technical detail, never losing sight of the aesthetic component and architectural integration.

The purpose of BIGAVAC is to provide comfort.
