We were born from a dream: providing better living conditions for families of small rural producers. With this purpose, eighteen men representing eight cooperatives, led by Aury Luiz Bodanese, joined forces to found a cooperative that would industrialize the region’s swine production. Since then, we have followed an abundant path, uniting more and more people in our essence of collectivity and empathy.
Over the decades, based on solid values, we have grown and today we are proud to highlight that we are made up of more than 100.000 families.
He was one of the greatest presidents in the Cooperative’s history. Born in Barão de Cotegipe (RS), his life story is very close to that of others lived by immigrants who, at the time, moved to the western region of Santa Catarina in search of a new perspective on life.
With a strong personality and initiative, he started working early as a fruit seller and newspaper delivery man, was a truck driver at the age of 15 and, at 20, did military service in Uruguaiana (RS). Throughout his professional career he participated actively in the community as a political representative and entrepreneur.
Aury was the first president of Aurora Coop and is recognized as a great cooperative leader. During the 22 years as head of the Cooperative, he propagated the cooperative’s philosophy, bringing people together and forming a solid basis for the future projection of Aurora Coop.
