The passion for climate: how it began

In 1978, a 16 years old boy spent his summer holidays at his parents garden obsessed with creating a machine of hatching eggs with better performance than their own chickens. When the chicks were born healthy, and in half the time, we went to his father and said “Dad, I’m going to be the inventor of the world’s best weathering machines”.

The little boy was João Araújo and 7 years later he founded ARALAB.
