The Group started its activities in the Amazon city of Franca / SP on March 14, 1947, for some entrepreneurs who started Amazon Rubber Manufacturing to produce vulcanized rubber heels and compete with imported hops, manufactured in the United States. The company soon achieved its objectives: Amazon jumps were more economical, more durable and much easier to be found in the market. With the success achieved in two years, the small industry could expand its facilities and thereby improve production.

In the early 1970s, the company also manufactured rubber plates, adhesives and rehearsing the first steps in the production of thermoplastic rubber soles (TR) and polyurethane (PU). Consequently, the modest clubhouse was replaced by a modern set of buildings that today houses one of the industrial units of the Amazon Group. It was also during this decade that came to bear, besides the matrix, two other production units. The first to be opened outside of France was in João Pessoa, capital of Paraiba. With the unit in New Hamburg / RS, the group\\s expansion was enacted.

Since then, growth is the word that best defines the path of success of this company. Therefore, the changes are a constant mark in its history. The year 1978 marks a major shift in business strategies and productive. The opening of factories in the southeast, northeast and south of the country were not the limit. Soon the Amazonas created his first outdoor industry, based in Montevideo (Uruguay), and eventually consolidate its mark upon the MERCOSUR. In 2003, opened another plant in the city of Quixeramobim EC.

Over time, the company was seeking and developing technology for the manufacture of soles of other materials such as PU and TR, which gave rise to other plants of the Amazonas Group. Currently, the Group Amazonas works not only with the manufacturing components for shoes, but it is important to launch fashion with customers, due to the stimulus in relation to new products and researches for the development of specific soldiers for each station. The recent launch of the "Private Label", composed style sandals "Flip Flop" injected by the company, is a perfect example that shows professionalism in this sector.

Amazonas is responsible for launching new marketing materials such as rubber gel, which since 1998 is increasingly present in major brands of shoes sold in Brazil and worldwide. We can also cite other types of rubbers developed by Amazon, such as high temperature resistant, oil resistant, slip resistant, biodegradable and antihidrolise.
