The announcement, made at an official event this Thursday (8), was made by the city’s mayor, Paulo Sérgio Ferreira, during the ceremony focused on expanding the supply of electricity in the municipality.
This event was also marked by a significant investment announcement of R$ 160 million, aimed at improving the local energy infrastructure.

The big reveal came as a true shock to the community.
“Did you know that Uberlândia will have the most modern Coca-Cola factory in the world?”, said the mayor, eliciting applause from those present, according to information from the website Regionalzão.
With this declaration, the mayor put the city in the center of international attention, highlighting a victory of enormous economic and symbolic relevance for the municipality.
The project is linked to Uberlândia Refrescos, one of the main companies responsible for producing and distributing Coca-Cola products in the Triângulo Mineiro region.
The total investment announced by Coca-Cola is R$ 1.5 billion by 2030, with R$ 860 million dedicated to the construction of the new factory.
This amount will be allocated to the implementation of innovative infrastructure, focusing on automation and sustainable practices.
The new factory, in addition to being a major milestone for the city, will be a true showcase of cutting-edge technology.
With complete automation of production processes and a high standard of energy efficiency, the facility will focus on sustainability and innovation.
Coca-Cola aims for the Uberlândia plant to be a global reference in industrial innovation within the company.
The choice of Uberlândia to host this facility was not a mere coincidence; the city’s strategic location, its advanced logistical and urban infrastructure, and the availability of skilled labor were key factors that influenced the final decision.
The city of Uberlândia has been establishing itself as one of the largest industrial hubs in Brazil, and this new factory further reinforces the strategic role of the city in the national economy.
According to Coca-Cola, the new plant will be responsible for generating 338 direct jobs, in addition to creating a positive impact on the local and regional economy, with the expectation of boosting other sectors such as commerce and services.
Coca-Cola, a beverage industry giant, had already demonstrated, since the second half of 2024, its intention to invest in a new high-tech factory in Brazil.
Information circulated regarding the selection of the city of Uberlândia as a possible location for this facility, but the official announcement made this week confirmed the choice, putting the city on the global radar of the multinational.
A Factory For The Future: The Role Of Innovation
The new Coca-Cola factory will not just be another production facility.
With state-of-the-art architecture and automation and sustainability systems, it is being designed to meet all beverage production needs, focusing on efficiency, quality, and environmental responsibility.
With fully automated industrial processes, the plant will be able to meet growing demand more quickly and efficiently.
Additionally, the factory will adopt technologies that go beyond simple automation.
Sustainability will be a central pillar of the operation.
The facility is expected to implement green technologies that minimize the environmental impacts of production, such as water reuse systems, solar energy, and carbon emission reduction.
In doing so, Coca-Cola reinforces its global commitment to more responsible and innovative practices that benefit not only consumers but also the planet.
The integration with the local community will also be a focus of the new factory.
In addition to the 338 direct jobs that will be created, the project plans to generate a significant number of indirect jobs and implement professional qualification programs aimed at local residents.
The company has already stated that it will have a special concern with developing initiatives that collaborate with the education and training of the local population, positively impacting the social development of the city.
Strategy Behind The Choice Of Uberlândia
The decision to choose Uberlândia as the headquarters for Coca-Cola’s most modern factory in the world was not made lightly.
According to sources associated with the project, the city offers a range of advantages that were decisive in the choice.
The proximity to major economic centers like São Paulo and Belo Horizonte facilitates the distribution of production and access to strategic markets.
Additionally, the city has stood out for its advanced urban infrastructure, with excellent transportation routes and access to essential services such as energy and telecommunications.
All of this made Uberlândia the best option to receive such an ambitious and innovative project.
Another important factor was the availability of skilled labor. Uberlândia has distinguished itself as a center of educational and professional excellence, with several higher education and technical institutions that train qualified professionals for various fields.
Coca-Cola, therefore, not only leverages the city’s infrastructure but also benefits from the high quality of the local workforce.
The Future Of Uberlândia And Coca-Cola
The investment of R$ 1.5 billion announced by Coca-Cola will occur over several years, with an execution schedule that is expected to extend until 2030.
The plant is scheduled to be completed in phases, with the first stage of the project already starting in the coming months.
This is just the beginning of a strategic partnership between Coca-Cola and the municipality of Uberlândia, which promises to bring benefits for both the city and the company.
With the completion of the factory, Uberlândia will further consolidate itself as one of the largest industrial and logistical hubs in Brazil, attracting new investments and generating more jobs.
Moreover, the city will become an important center for innovation and sustainability in the industrial sector, placing it on the global map as an example of best industrial practices.
Uberlândia is about to make history as the city that will host the most modern Coca-Cola plant in the world.
The union of innovation, sustainability, and social development promises to transform the municipality into a model for other locations in Brazil and around the world. CPG contacted the Uberlândia City Hall for more information and awaits a response.
The big question that remains is: which other Brazilian municipalities could follow Uberlândia’s example and attract high-impact investments like this?
