closeness, and human values.<br \/>Founded by Ruy Soeiro de Lacerda in 1950, the company quickly became a trusted partner, building a reputation for integrity and innovation that still endures.<br \/>More than a business project, Ruy de Lacerda is a life project, one that has grown on the foundation of a strong family culture, guided by timeless principles: hard work, integrity, and commitment to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2696<\/strong><strong>\ufe0f<\/strong><strong> Responsibility: the quiet strength of those who inherit a legacy<\/strong><br \/>Taking on a company with 75 years of

relationships built over decades.<br \/>\ud83d\udc49 And the responsibility to make difficult choices, with courage and a sense of mission.<\/p>\n<p>It was with this mindset that the family chose to professionalize the management, entrusting daily operations to a team that is experienced and fully aligned with the company\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc65 <strong>Professional leadership with a family spirit<\/strong><br \/>Today, the operational management of Ruy de Lacerda is in the hands of two of our partners and executive team members: Jos\u00e9 Quintino and Sabino Borges.<\/p>\n<p>Both bring solid experience in the sector, a strategic vision aligned with present and future challenges, and a genuine connection to the company\u2019s culture, essential qualities for truly committed leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Taking on these roles is a profound responsibility, not only due to the complexity of the business, but especially because of the trust placed in them by the founding family, who sees in them the continuation of a journey started over seven decades ago.<br \/>With professionalism, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose, they have ensured the continuity and development of the organization, while preserving its legacy and founding values.<\/p>\n<p>By their side, our commercial director S\u00e9rgio Pereira plays a key role. His market sensitivity and ability to bridge internal teams with external demands have been instrumental in strengthening our commercial presence.<br \/>Together, they represent a new generation of professional leadership, prepared and fully aware of the responsibility of carrying forward a story built on high standards, ethics, and long-term vision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udf31<\/strong><strong> Balanced ambition: growing without losing what matters<\/strong><br \/>Ambition has always been part of our story, but always ambition with purpose.<br \/>We want to grow, innovate, and explore new opportunities.<br \/>But we want to do so with our feet on the ground, with responsibility, and with fidelity to our values.<br \/>At Ruy de Lacerda, ambition is not impatience. It is long-term vision.<br \/>It is building solidly, sustainably, and with positive impact for all: clients, employees, partners, and the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udd04<\/strong><strong> The future is shared<\/strong><br \/>The path we walk is made of conscious choices.<br \/>The choice to honour the past, value the present, and prepare for the future.<br \/>The choice to trust. The choice to make room.<br \/>And the choice to remain, every day, a company where people work with purpose and grow with meaning.<br \/>Our story continues, with eyes on the future and roots firmly grounded in what brought us here.<br \/>Because preserving a legacy takes responsibility.
