Gastão Vidigal placed his son, Carlos Bueno<br />
Vidigal in charge of Confab, and it was he who<br />
ensured the consolidation of the company, imbuing<br />
it with a sense seriousness, responsibility,<br />
transparency and respect for people, combined<br />
with a constant drive to improve the quality<br />
of products and services and invest in technology<br />
and human capital.<br />
With the creation of Petrobras in 1953 and the<br />
development of the petroleum refining industry<br />
in the country, Confab had the opportunity to<br />
expand its business, manufacturing equipment<br />
for the new industry.<br />
Growing with Brazil<br />
In 1961, Confab began to manufacture welded<br />
steel pipes. It was at this time that the company<br />
closed its first large scale contract: supplying<br />
tubular stakes for the construction of Usiminas.<br />
In the 1970's, Confab was split into two units:<br />
pipes and equipment, with the construction<br />
of two plants in Pindamonhangaba, 160 km<br />
from São Paulo. The company started supplying<br />
the petroleum & gas, petrochemical, mining,<br />
steel, cellulose & paper and sanitation industries,<br />
as well as nuclear power plants.<br />
