The Industrial Center of Rio de Janeiro (whose original name is "Centro Industrial do Rio de Janeiro" or simply "CIRJ") is a private organization that represents more than four thousand other organizations (industrial, commercial or service providers) of various sizes. The Center keeps close contact with its associates, offering customized treatment, services and permanent networking.[1]

CIRJ was born in August 1941, originated from Firj (Industrial Federation of Rio de Janeiro),[note 1] what "represents the consolidated and modern historical phase initiated in 1827 with Helper Society of the National Industry (Sain)."[2] Today it is one of the entities that integrate the FIRJAN System.

Association

Companies that wish to benefit from these services offered by CIRJ must participate with a monthly associative contribution.[7] The fee varies according to the amount of employees and the type of enterprise: it may be an “industrial enterprise” (the profit one, that transforms raw materials in finished products[8] or that performs industrialization operations, generating taxed products)[9] and it also may be a “non-industrial enterprise” (organization that doesn´t perform activity of this nature, such as financial institutions, commercial enterprises and service delivery companies).[10]
