Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo FIESP The Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo FIESP is a Brazilian industry entity. FIESP is affiliated with the National Industry Confederation (CNI).
FIESP has 52 representative units in the state of São Paulo, representing 133 employer’s trade unions and 130,000 industries.
The federation is located in the city of São Paulo. The São Paulo industry building is the location of the Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (CIESP), the Social Service of the Industry of São Paulo (SESI-SP), the National Service for Industrial Training of São Paulo (SENAI-SP), the Roberto Simonsen Institute (IRS) and the headquarters of several affiliated unions.
Skaf was elected president of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (FIESP) in 2004. He was re-elected in 2007 and then again in 2011.
In June 2014, the entrepreneur Benjamin Steinbruch, CEO of the National Steel Company (CSN) and Vicunha Group became president of FIESP, replacing Skaf, who is running for the state of São Paulo government.
During the 1924 Revolution led by general Isidoro Dias Lopes, the president of the São Paulo Commercial Association (ACSP), José Carlos de Macedo Soares remained in São Paulo, which was being bombarded to protect the working class neighborhoods, factories and shops. When the resistance was defeated, Macedo Soares was accused of cooperating with the revolution and was exiled. As a result, the ACSP became weaker without its president.
In 1928, a group of business owners from the São Paulo Trade Association led by Jorge Street, Francisco Matarazzo and Roberto Simonsen founded the Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (CIESP), a private association that supports and represents industries interests. In 1931, Matarazzo, Simonsen, Street and a group of business owners founded the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (FIESP) to claim back the industries’ competitiveness in Brazil and to reduce production costs and contain the deindustrialization.
During the government of Vargas, CIESP and FIESP remained separate. After World War II, both entities returned to work together.
FIESP has 52 representative units in the state of São Paulo. The federation comprises 133 business associations and 130,000 industries, uniting sectors that make up 42% of Brazil’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Skaf was elected president of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (FIESP), the Industry Social Service (SESI-SP), the National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI-SP) and the Roberto Simonsen Institute (IRS) in 2004. He was re-elected in 2007 and again in 2011.
