About Us

An integrated company operating in five strategic segments to improve people's quality of life.

Our history

From an entrepreneurial spirit to Grupo Lara

Around 1962, a 23-year-old who worked at his father's brickworks decided to innovate and start his own business. Together with his brothers, Renato Damo began a journey defined by hard work, vision and commitment.

The name LARA was a nod to the brothers who were then partners in the business: Leonel, Atílio, Renato and Antônio.

Lara grew to become Grupo Lara, and today it is an integrated company operating in five strategic segments: sanitary landfills, sanitation, power generation, public lighting and public health.
