Casa Arani, S. A., began operations in August 1986. Its founder and president, Mr. Ramón Eliceo Rosario, established the company with the aim of wholesaling automotive maintenance and detailing products. At the outset, the workforce consisted of four people, including its founder. The first inventory purchases were made in the local market. Shortly thereafter, we were importing almost 100% of the items we marketed. Our initial customers were gas stations, to whom we owe a great deal and are constantly grateful, and light vehicle car washes.
