In the pages of this book (Volume I), the reader will learn about the various stages of industrialization in the municipality of Limeira and will be able to identify striking details about the first enterprises and their entrepreneurs, who were not intimidated by the difficulties faced when starting a small business. Some of them, with a lot of work, without ever giving up on their aspirations, have ended up giving rise to solid industries, even if, at times, they had to face competition from large multinational corporations.
