Itaúsa - Investimentos Itaú S.A. was one of the first pure holding companies to be publicly listed in Brazil. It is the second largest private group by revenue in the country, created to consolidate the financial and strategic decisions of a series of companies, in order to provide them with better conditions for expanding their activities.

The companies operating under the Itaúsa Group management operate in diverse areas such as the financial and real estate sectors, wood paneling, sanitary vitreous chinaware and metal fittings, chemicals and electronics, ranging from consumer goods and components to information technology. Despite this disparate range of manufacturing activities and services, these companies have a common bond: the Itaúsa way of developing and managing each one of their businesses.

Investing in the development of human capital, ethical business practices and the creation of shareholder value on a continuous and sustainable basis are the Group’s hallmark. These principals form the competitive bedrock for the ever-improving quality of goods and services based on in-house development, and the adopting of the latest technology available - both of which have been responsible for the Group's market leadership in different sectors.
