State Law No. 8,092 of February 28, 1964, separated the district of Votorantim from the municipality of Sorocaba, elevating it to the category of municipality. It is the largest cement producer in Brazil. It also has a privileged geographical location, since it is conurbated with Sorocaba and, therefore, close to its road network, connected to large national and regional centers, such as São Paulo and Campinas.[5]
