de Janeiro, coming from a village in northern Portugal. He was fleeing from political persecutions of the Salazar dictatorship and the compulsory military service in Portuguese colonies.<\/p><p>Settled in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, Ars\u00eanio worked as a street vendor, a bus driver, eventually becoming the owner of a bus company. In 1963, he decided to leave the transportation sector and purchased Pedreira Santa Luzia, located in the suburb of \u00c1gua Santa. This company specialized in granite and crushed stone processing.<\/p><p>With a keen business sense, dedicated entrepreneurship, and a caring attitude towards employees and customers, in the following decades, Ars\u00eanio witnessed the growth of his company, which was renamed Materiais de Constru\u00e7\u00e3o Santa Luzia. It became a major player in the stone aggregates market in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p><p>In 1997, with the inauguration of the Yellow Line, Ars\u00eanio decided to invest in the construction sector. He founded Nova Santa Luzia Engenharia (now Santa Luzia Engenharia e Constru\u00e7\u00f5es), focusing on public and private construction projects in the state of Rio de Janeiro.<\/p><p>Starting from 1999, after completing significant infrastructure projects in Rio de Janeiro, such as the construction of the Port of Itagua\u00ed and the Metropolitan Arch, and the expansion of the Rio-Santos Highway, Ars\u00eanio recognized new opportunities in the mining sector. In response, he relocated his companies to a 10 million square meter area in the municipality of Itagua\u00ed, where he could strategically position his businesses. He also changed the name of his stone aggregates company to Minera\u00e7\u00e3o Santa Luzia.<\/p><p>In the following years, aiming to expand business and offer greater efficiency and competitive prices to customers, he invested in creating two more companies &#8211; one for ready-mixed concrete production and another for mortar manufacturing.
