Grupo Caoa is a Brazilian automotive company that was established in 1979. It is the distributor of the Subaru, Hyundai and Chery brands in Brazil.[1][2] It has two of its own factories in Brazil, one in the Agroindustrial District of Anápolis, where Hyundai[3][4] and Chery models are assembled, as well as another in Jacareí, resulting from the acquisition of 50.7% of the company's Brazilian operations of Chery, in September 2017, forming Caoa Chery.[5]

Caoa stands for the name of its founder, Carlos Alberto de Oliveira Andrade.[6]
