Marcelo Ruas, on behalf of the Grupo Caio board, expressed the affection for the city and the admiration for the current city administration “I thank the mayor for the example of honesty and entrepreneurial vision, added to a unique competence. We have in common to always fight for everything we believe, because we believe that everything will work out and Caio is an example of that. We had around 600 employees when we took over the company and today, 20 years later, with more than 5,000 professionals, we are the largest employers in the region. We are in Botucatu because we are proud of this city, in being part of its history”.
The Town Chairman, Mr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, ``Palhinha``, summed up the current moment “One of my first jobs was here at Caio. I am very proud to drive along Rondon and see the greatness of this company. It is a city inside another city. Caio is a family and it is a gift to Botucatu. The city, as well as the world, are facing this difficult situation and Caio has been a great partner in this battle”.
Concluding the solemn act, the City Mayor, Mário Pardini, shared some interesting details. “I have always wanted to work at Caio. As a teenager, I even played football for the company and for me, it was an accomplishment. My professional trajectory followed other directions and, years later, crossed with Caio. And today, my history as mayor merges with the history of this great company, about which everyone is aware of how relevant it is to our city.``
Pardini finished his speech talking about partnership and gratitude: ``Few know how human Caio`s board is, it values the maintenance of jobs, values people, and our community.
