Meet ACIC

Chapecó Commercial and Industrial Association

ACIC: 76 years of history

The Chapecó Commercial and Industrial Association (ACIC) was founded on May 10, 1947 with the aim of being a business entity representing commerce, industry, service provision and agriculture.

76 years ago, businessman Serafim Enoss Bertaso was elected the entity's first president. The economic history of the municipality did not begin there, but the history of the political organization of the producing classes began to be written there, which, in these 101 years of administrative emancipation and seven decades of business associations, bequeathed to Santa Catarina one of the most eloquent paradigms of work and development.
