OUR COMPANY

HISTORY

Mr. Horacio de Gouveia had the dream of starting his own company for many years, so after working in the distribution business for some years and the experience he gained by doing this, he established Sunny Trading in 1983. At first he run the company from his house. Soon it started picking up and got help from his wife and father-in-law to help with the distribution. By 1987 the company grew significantly and needed to move to a bigger space to supply the demands. After a decade their son started working in the company and a couple of years later their daughters one by one also joined the company.
