About us

A story that began with one man's dream and grew through relationships built along the way.

Dimas Arnoldo da Silva

Dimas Arnoldo da Silva, founder of Grupo Dimas, smiling in a gray blazer and white shirt

Grupo Dimas was born in 1976, in the garage of the family home in Florianópolis, when Dimas Arnoldo da Silva and Maria Lenir began selling used vehicles. Before building a group, he built relationships. Personal service, keeping his word and trust have been part of this story from the very beginning. That is how a way of doing business that has spanned generations was born: the Dimas Way.

Over time, new businesses, brands and people became part of this journey. The Dimas Way kept pace with this growth and remains present in how we relate to others, make decisions and create experiences.

The Dimas Way: our values
