G U I A O MELHOR DE CAMPINAS 113 nova fase, obteve mais um grande sucesso e pôde definir os rumos que transformaram este destino em um dos mais completos para eventos e hotelaria do Brasil. Em maio de 2018, aos 86 anos de idade, Armindo faleceu de causas naturais, mas pôde ver parte do complexo inaugurado, o Centro de Convenções Royal Palm Hall. Deixou como seu maior legado o exemplo de vida, sempre dedicado ao trabalho, à ação benemérita, à família e à crença em Deus. THE LEGACY OF ARMINDO DIAS The entire incredible transformation story of the Royal Palm Plaza can be considered part of the legacy of entrepreneur Armindo Dias. Yes, part of the legacy, because over more than 50 years of work, Armindo built several companies, created many jobs and income, and improved the lives of numerous families. Born in Portugal, he immigrated to Brazil in 1956 in search of opportunities in this promising country. He came with only the strength of his work and determination, working in various places, including a few years in Bahia, before settling in Campinas in 1964. That's when he began his long journey of entrepreneurship and his connection with the city. The small Doces Campineira from the 1960s transformed into one of Brazil's leading biscuit companies, achieving the title of national leader with its Triunfo brand in 1992. The few more than fifty employees from the 1960s multiplied into over fifteen hundred direct jobs over thirty years of hard work. In 1997, at the age of 65, when many are thinking about retirement, Armindo made the decision to sell Companhia Campineira de Alimentos, Triunfo, and completely changed his field. He transitioned from industry to the service sector by acquiring the Royal Palm Plaza hotel and entered the vehicle dealership sector by purchasing Tempo. In this new phase, he achieved yet another great success and was able to set the course that turned this destination into one of the most complete for events and hospitality in Brazil. In May 2018, at the age of 86, Armindo passed away from natural causes, but he was able to witness part of the complex inaugurated, the Royal Palm Hall Convention Center. He left as his greatest legacy the example of a life dedicated to work, charitable action, family, and belief in God.
