It was1921 when Mr. João Boito, Italian immigrant, established himself in Alfredo Chaves town, today called Veranópolis, Rio Grande do Sul State. He decided to manufacture, a shotgun for his enjoyment. At that moment a trigger was pulled for an accurate shot in the future. It was the birth of Boito.

In 1955, Mr. Elias Ruas Amantino, became a partner of the Boito family, on June 22nd it was started the serial production of shotguns. But if E.R.Amantino & Cia Ltda was born by chance its vertiginous development was not occasional.

It is the result of the desire and the talent of a group that had in view modern industrials goals, manufacturing here, a hunting shotgun with international fame.
