According to a statement from JBS, the new factory in the interior of the state will be dedicated to the production of bioactive collagen peptides and gelatin. Both by-products of the company's cattle slaughter are used in the beauty industry.

The expectation is that the new factory will be inaugurated by the end of 2021. According to JBS, the unit will generate 130 direct jobs and 500 indirect jobs.

In Presidente Epitácio, this is not the only investment by JBS. In total, JBS has already invested BRL 280 million in the municipality, since in June the company made a contribution of BRL 100 million to convert a decommissioned refrigerator into two units — a factory dedicated to the production of heparin, an anticoagulant extracted from the intestinal mucosa of pigs and cattle, and a warehouse.

JBS' investments are part of a package announced by the company last year. The company plans to invest BRL 8 billion in Brazil by 2024.

JBS surpassed Petrobras in revenue

After 22 years, Petrobras loses revenue leadership to meat processor JBS. In the second quarter, the slaughterhouse generated R$ 67,6 billion against R$ 50,9 billion for state, according to a survey carried out by “Economatica”.

This inversion of the gains of the two companies was precisely due to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis: on the one hand, Petrobras saw the price of oil and the demand for fuels collapse, while JBS, with large operations in the United States, ended up favored mainly by the skyrocketing of the dollar against the real.
