We acquired new companies in the industry, evolved in the optimization of processes, in our strategic planning, in the creation of new materials, technologies, and in improvements in the quality of our products. We also invest in the professional development of Caio Group employees”, he highlights.

History of the brand logo

With this new update, the brand logo version comes in its fourth version.

The first was created in the 70s and used until 1999. It was composed by a symbol, popularly known as ‘‘biscuit’’ and the word CAIO, written in a robust typography, bringing with it all the strength that the brand would gain.

Logo elements: The first element is the circles that surround the ‘‘biscuit’’, both externally and internally, which demonstrate, in lines, the shape of a wheel.

The second element, formed by a line, a quarter of a circle in black, together with another line, half a circle in dark blue, forms the letter G (by Group). The third element, half circle in light blue, forms the letter C (by Caio). Together, they form the letters GC, which means Grupo Caio [Caio Group].

From the year 2000 onwards, the logo was replaced internally and at the stationery shops by a provisional one, representing a red body, with the word ``INDUSCAR`` in blue, the name given to the company taken over by a new group, from that time. However, the Caio logo with the ‘‘biscuit’’ continued and remained used on the bodies, representing the BRAND.

In 2004, the third logo was used. With the same design as the first version created in the 70`s, which started to have small aesthetic changes in its typography and ‘‘biscuit’’, being added below the word CAIO the word INDUSCAR. With this change, the meaning became: CAIO (brand) and INDUSCAR (company that manufactures bodies of that brand).
