Portuguese term (edited):
quase artesanais
quasi-artisanal
To some ears 'artisanal' might sound like a short-cut borrowing from modern Romance; however it is used by many native speakers. There was somebody on PBS recently going on about artisanal beer making.
e.g.,
After the war, these two giants all but ceased production, and French cinema became (by and large) the work of small, quasi-artisanal companies, perpetually struggling to reach markets outside their borders.

"The company managed to keep its quasi-artisanal scale even after the Second World War."
Pasta: the story of a universal food By Silvano Serventi, Françoise Sabban. p. 187.
In order to diversify its offer, urban brand Japan Rags is announcing its new line of jeans: the Heritage line. This new collection will include three new cuts featuring “quasi-artisanal techniques” such as “precision stitching for a couture effect”.

As Chin clearly shows, both segments of the industry pay poorly and many workers feel exploited. The quasi-artisanal system in the Chinese sector creates a set of reciprocal relationships between workers and employers which favor the employers.

Until this time, the attitude of many of the people involved in the computer industry had been to treat computers as ***almost a craft industry***.
