Сан-Бернарду-ду-Кампу
Industry, particularly metal works, thrived in the city during the 1960s, when São Bernardo do Campo became known as Brazil's " Automobile Capital" (Portuguese: "a Capital do Automóvel"). Many of these plants have since relocated to other regions but the automobile industry remains a vital part of the history of São Bernardo do Campo. The city is also known for its furniture industry developed by Italian immigrants, who helped São Bernardo do Campo become a high-tech industrial hub.
