With cutting-edge technology and large-scale production capacity, the new factory in Minas Gerais boosts the local economy and promises to create hundreds of jobs in the animal nutrition sector.
Castelo Alimentos, known as the largest vinegar manufacturer in Latin America, has taken a major step forward in its history! In the midst of celebrating its 119th anniversary, the company has opened a new factory in Contagem, Minas Gerais. Headquartered in Jundiaí, São Paulo, the company has decided to expand its operations to Minas Gerais, marking a new phase of growth and reinforcing its commitment to a national presence. The expectation is that the new factory will generate hundreds of jobs.
With an investment of R$20 million, the new Castelo Alimentos factory in Contagem occupies 10 square meters and promises to be a strategic production and distribution hub. The expectation is that it will produce between 10 and 15 million liters of vinegar per year, supplying not only Minas Gerais, but also important regions such as the Federal District, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia, Espírito Santo and São Paulo.

According to Marcelo Cereser, CEO of Castelo Foods, the choice of Minas Gerais as the headquarters of the new factory was not by chance.
“To define the location, we analyzed several regions of the country and decided on Minas Gerais due to its strategic geographic location, the potential of the consumer market and a favorable business environment. Our goal is to expand our participation in other areas of Brazil,” he explained.
This location allows the company to optimize its distribution to different regions, ensuring that Castelo Alimentos products reach consumers in different states more easily and quickly.

O investment of R$ 20 million not only expands the company's production capacitytrapped, but also boosts the job market, offering opportunities at a time when the economy is trying to recover.
The expectation is that, with the increase in demand and the expansion of the portfolio, more vacancies will be opened at the Contagem unit, consolidating Castelo Alimentos as one of the companies that invests the most in the development of the region.
Expansion of Castelo Alimentos in Brazil
The new plant is an essential part of Castelo Alimentos’ growth strategy, which aims to expand its presence throughout the country. With production focused not only on Minas Gerais, but also on states such as the Federal District, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia and Espírito Santo, the brand is positioning itself to become even more accessible to Brazilian consumers.
This expansion is also a response to the growing demand for quality vinegars and food products. With a new unit in a strategic location, Castelo Alimentos is prepared to serve consumers more quickly and efficiently, reinforcing its leading position in the food market.
The history and tradition of Castelo Alimentos
With over a century of history, Castelo Alimentos is one of the most traditional brands in Brazil. Founded 119 years ago, the company began its journey in Jundiaí, São Paulo, and has since established itself as the largest producer of vinegars in Latin America. Over the years, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include other food products, always maintaining a commitment to quality.
The opening of the new factory in Contagem is another chapter in this long success story. The company continues to innovate and invest in technologies that allow it to maintain the high quality standard of its products, but with more efficient and future-oriented logistics.
In addition to expanding its production, Castelo Alimentos remains committed to sustainability.
