The history started at 1960, when João Lucas (died), an ex-taxi driver, became a fastener resale manager company. In 1978 he opened his own resale, having at his side João Marcos Lucas (JM), his son.

Under JM, the company had got a meteoric trajectory and prosperity. In 2004, already had at his side Sergio Lucas, the JM son, was created a new company named Belenus, starting so a new era, but as fastener manufacturer.

Can be pretentious, but during the two last decades the Belenus surging changed the fastener market history in Brazil.
