Brazil's Local Contractor Giant Reaches Out to Spur Growth
São Paulo, Brazil – In the past seven decades, Brazilian construction giant Camargo Corrêa has made its name building dams in its home country - almost 50 total. To better handle the future the company is looking to diversify into new fields including…flip-flop sandals.
Founded in 1939 by former road laborer Sebastiao Ferraz de Camargo Penteado, the firm became one of the largest in Brazil by focusing on infrastructure development – particularly large hydroelectric projects.
