The company’s owner Ricardo Carvalho (25 years old) opened it when he was
only 21, with encouragement from his father, who is also dedicated to this line
of business. This business began with just 5 employees, currently the company
has more than 70 and by the end of 2013 they expect to have about 100-110.
