Itautec is part of Itaúsa - Investimentos Itaú S.A. - one of the largest privately-owned groups in Brazil. As one of the first 100% Brazilian publicly held holdings, Itaúsa was created to centralize the financial and strategic decisions of a group of companies, thus allowing them to have better conditions to expand. All companies that belong to Itaúsa - although doing business in very diverse sectors, such as: financial and real estate, manufacturing of wooden panels, bathroom ceramics and fittings, chemicals and electronics, including Information Technology, components, services and Internet - have something in common: the Itaúsa view of developing and managing every single one of the businesses. The principles of valuing human capital, business ethics and the creation of value for shareholders on a continuous and sustainable basis are the characteristics of all the companies that belong to the Group. These principles are the base of their competitiveness by means of the continuous improvement of the quality of their services and products, while relying on internal development and on the absorption of the most modern technologies available, which has allowed the Group to take the leadership in many of its diverse sectors.
