CITRAL S/A
50 YEARS

"In the heart of Rio Grande"
Consolidated on 08/19/1952, Citral expanded its lines, increasing the number of vehicles, making acquisitions, following the growth of the region, driven by factors of its own administrative policy and for social and economic reasons, showing that the peso of the quality factor makes it stand up to the inclement weather.
The greatness of this company and the importance of its scope are the result of joint actions and respect among those who form the noble "Citral Family".
1952 - 2002 (50 YEARS)
