The history of CBC S.A.

CBC Indústrias Pesadas S.A., originally known as "Companhia Brasileira de Caldeiras" and "Companhia Brasileira de Caldeiras e Equipamentos Pesados", respectively, was founded in September 1955 in the Southern part of Minas Gerais in a town called Varginha with the collaboration of the German group Von Thyssen. 

In 1963, some MITSUBISHI GROUP Companies (i.e. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and Mitsubishi Corporation) acquired the company.

In 1976 the new plant in Jundiaí, in the state of São Paulo was inaugurated. This clearly demonstrated the evident interest from the largest Japanese industrial movement in the development of this base industry in Brazil, by transfer of technology and manufacturing know-how, which was developed and perfected by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries over more than 140 years of its existence.
