Polish Multinational CANPACK Invests R$ 710 Million in New Factory in South of Minas, with Promise of Job Creation and Strengthening of Regional Industry.

The multinational CANPACK, a global leader in aluminum can manufacturing, started on Wednesday (7) the construction of its new factory in Poços de Caldas, in the South of Minas Gerais. With an investment of R$ 710 million, the project is one of the largest private investments in the municipality’s history.

The industrial plant will occupy 165,000 m² and will have the capacity to produce 1.3 billion cans per year, exclusively for the Brazilian market. The expectation is that the factory will generate 140 direct jobs and about 300 indirect jobs, boosting the local economy and the regional logistics sector.

Construction has already begun and will be executed in phases over the next two years, with completion expected by 2026.

Why Poços de Caldas Was Chosen by CANPACK?

According to Paulo Roberto Dias, CEO of CANPACK in Brazil, the decision to install the new unit in the municipality was strategic:

“We chose Poços de Caldas for its logistical potential, structure, the quality of the workforce, and for the steadfast support from the municipal administration since the first conversations. This project is strategic for CANPACK in Brazil and will allow us to serve the national market more efficiently.”

The privileged logistics, combined with support from the City Hall and the Department of Economic Development, was crucial for the realization of the project, whose negotiations began in 2022. The letter of intent was formalized in November 2024.

“Today is a historic day for Poços de Caldas. The arrival of CANPACK is the result of a joint effort between the City Hall, the Department of Economic Development, and our institutional partners. We are talking about job creation, valuing local industry, and consolidating Poços as an attractive hub for large investments.”

In addition to job creation, the construction will boost the production chain, attract suppliers, increase revenue, and elevate Poços de Caldas to a new industrial level.

According to Franco Martins, the municipal secretary of Economic Development and Innovation:

“From the beginning of the negotiations, we offered all the necessary support to show that Poços is a fertile environment for new businesses. The arrival of the company is a collective achievement and shows that the municipality is ready to receive large projects with responsibility and planning.”

The new factory will be dedicated exclusively to the national market and reinforces the company’s commitment to sustainable development and operational efficiency.

Summary of the Project for the New Factory of CANPACK

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.

Avelloz left the Northeast to become Brazil’s 5th top-selling motorcycle brand, surpassing 130,000 units sold, and is now targeting expansion in the South and Southeast with new models, a national network, and a focus on the popular entry-level segment.

Anvisa decides this Wednesday (13) whether to maintain the suspension of Ypê detergents, disinfectants, and laundry detergents. The company filed an appeal but kept two factories in Amparo (SP) idled. The agency’s guidance is not to use the products.

While heat evaporates water from reservoirs and countries seek new areas for clean energy, Morocco is testing floating solar panels that function as an energy lid and also generate electricity.

Researchers from the Australian RV Investigator map the Tasmantid Seamount Chain in the Coral Sea between 200 and 3,600 meters deep and identify 110 new species on extinct underwater volcanoes

Farm in Matopiba transforms cattle manure into natural fertilizer, becomes self-sufficient in phosphorus, and shows how crop-livestock integration can reduce costs amid Brazil’s dependence on imported fertilizers.
