Cubatão, Industrial center in São Paulo state, Brazil

The city stands at the base of Serra do Mar mountain range, housing major petroleum refineries and steel manufacturing facilities near Santos port.

Established in 1833 as a small settlement, Cubatão transformed into a major industrial hub by 1948 through the consolidation of several municipalities.

The city maintains international connections through sister city partnerships with municipalities in Portugal and Chile, fostering cultural exchanges.

Located 26 kilometers from Santos port, Cubatão connects to major transportation routes through highways and rail lines serving São Paulo state.

During the 1980s, the city implemented environmental programs worth 1.2 billion dollars to address industrial pollution and restore natural ecosystems.
