Cataguases Industrial Company was founded in 1936 by José Inácio Peixoto, Ormeu Junqueira Botelho, and Severino Pereira da Silva.
The company's history is intertwined with the history of the Cataguases region, as in 1943, Cataguases Textile Company built the Workers' Village to house migrant employees from neighboring cities, since more than half of the inhabitants worked at the company.
In the 1940s, the company imported new machinery from England, betting on the future that the post-war period would bring. The 1950s were marked by the modernization of the company and the election of the first female president of the company, Francisca de Souza Peixoto.
The company continued to invest in its growth and expand its operations in the following decades. In fact, in 1970, the company set a production record.
In 1973, the company went public on the stock exchange, where it is listed in the Consumer Cyclical sector, in the Apparel and Footwear sub-sector, and in the Yarns and Fabrics segment.
Later, at the turn of the millennium, the company founded the Francisca de Souza Peixoto Institute, which is dedicated to carrying out social responsibility activities with the community.
Currently, the company is the most advanced industry in the production of lightweight cotton and viscose fabrics in Brazil and one of the largest in the world.
Cataguases Industrial Company has a manufacturing park of over 65,000 square meters of built area and a production capacity of more than 25 million linear meters of fabrics.
Its products are present in over 20 countries, mainly in countries that set the standards for global fashion. It is worth noting that the company preserves sustainable product processes, with certifications recognized as relevant in the textile market, such as the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative).
