History

Grêmio Esportivo Renner were founded on July 27, 1931.[1] Renner was founded by employees of clothing manufacturer A. J. Renner & Cia. Initially, the intention was just for employee recreation, but the company owner saw potential in the team and started to support it. Their fans were, for the most part, Renner's factor workers or from the neighborhood of Navegantes, where most employees lived and the factory was located.[2] The club, with the help of Ênio Andrade, won the Campeonato Gaúcho in 1954, thus being the first club, besides Grêmio and Internacional, to win the state championship since 1939, and would remain the only one to do so until Juventude in 1998, 44 years later.[1] Renner folded five years later, as the operation of the club was unprofitable for the company and left a financial hole after every season.[1]
