In the assembly area, we also had the first contact with some workers, when we raised some doubts about the assembly process and the common question of "why is it good for?". They being very helpful to us withdraw our doubts.

Then we went strolling by the company, seeing various parts of detentions of errors, possibly caused by machinery, so that all equipment that leaves the factory it is in perfect condition.

Story

Olhão had since prehistoric times, evidence of settlement attesting to the occupation of this territory. The earliest written reference to this place designates him in 1378 as a place they call Olham.

The bar at hand and the existence of abundant water would have been decisive factors for some fishermen in the early seventeenth century, began to set up on the beach of Olhão. The village is developed against the wishes of the authorities of Faro, whose term belonged. To benefit from this growth, from mid-seventeenth century, the protection of the Fort St. Lawrence who, although poor, guarded the entrance to the bar and deterred attacks Buccaneers.

The increase in the inshore and offshore, as well as trade, causing a large outbreak population and, in 1695, the residents of this place require detaching the Bishop of Quelfes parish, which was then created by the Parish of Our Lady Rosary Olhão.

During the French occupation of the Algarve, in 1808, appeared in Olhão, June 16, a spontaneous and genuine popular uprising against the abuses of the invaders. This revolt culminating in the expulsion of the French in place of Olhão and, on impulse, in the Algarve. The following month, embark for Brazil in 17 men of Olhão Caíque "Good Success" with the mission to bring to the Court of Cologne novelty of expulsion. That crew had brought a letter, unofficial, which was described in the audacious attitude that olhanenses took this revolt. The reward resulted in a tightly Permit Law, with the Prince Regent solves distinguish Olhão, and its inhabitants, from the village and commanding place that "might be named town of Olhão of the Restoration."

The move to Vila implied the creation of a new county, endowed with local autonomy, which would only happen in 1826. This year, the Chamber is erected to Olhão creating for this purpose the place of Juiz de Fora, which then chaired the town council.

In 1835, the town of Moncarapacho became part of the Terms of Olhão and the following year, the Board took possession of the parishes of Olhão, Olhão, Pechão and part of the parish of Moncarapacho.
