Mr. Ferreira was one of the CONRAD founders, developing a critical business company operating in Mozambique in the 60's and 70's, helping improving the country communications by manufacturing telecommunications equipment for military and civil usage under licenses from RACAL and STORNO. CONRAD also developed the consumer electronics area by offering Matsushita National equipment assembled locally in the plant as well. In the later years just after Mozambique independence in 1975, Mr. Ferreira was forced to leave the country as result of the new political/economic trend coming from USSR, resulting in the declining of the company's business. In the last year of production (1977), the main building at Av. de Angola was using the ground floor for office operations on the left side and had the wiring machines and metal/wood machining on the right side; the 1st floor had the National manufacturing plant on the left side, managed by Mr. Silva, and the RACAL/STORNO telecommunication services on the right side, managed by Mr. Mesquita. In 1977, Mozambique Ministry of Industry and Trade decided create an administrative committee to manage all the 12 electronics companies operating in Mozambique at the time, including CONRAD, and had suspended all elements of the previous managements. These 12 companies were merged to create a new nationalized company called ELECTROMOC that was managed initially by a Soviet comrade called Mr. Schugurensky; the company has extended business with new equipment offerings from GDR (German Democratic Republic) among others, before the company extinction in the late 90's.
