The Role of the Municipal Administration
During the event, Mayor Paulo Ney emphasized the relevance of CANPACK‘s arrival for the city.
“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 Secretariat 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,” he stated.
This type of investment is crucial for the local economy, especially in times of economic challenges.
Diversifying the industrial base of the city can bring resilience, making it less dependent on specific sectors and more capable of withstanding future crises.

The Choice of Poços de Caldas
The CEO of CANPACK in Brazil, Paulo Roberto Dias, also celebrated the start of construction. “We chose Poços de Caldas for its logistical potential, structure, quality of labor, and the strong support from the municipal administration since the first discussions.
This project is strategic for CANPACK in Brazil and will allow us to serve the national market more efficiently,” said the executive, highlighting the importance of investment in the local economy.
The location of Poços de Caldas is a strategic attraction.

The Industrial Plant and Its Capabilities
The new industrial plant will occupy an area of approximately 165 thousand square meters and will have an initial capacity to produce about 1.3 billion aluminum cans per year, intended exclusively for the Brazilian market.
This significant production reinforces CANPACK‘s position as one of the world’s leaders in the manufacturing of aluminum packaging.
The demand for aluminum packaging has been growing, especially with the increase in the consumption of canned beverages. What many don’t know is that aluminum is a highly recyclable material, making it a sustainable choice for the industry.
Have you ever wondered how sustainability is becoming a decisive factor in companies’ choices?
The Negotiation Process for the New Project
Negotiations with CANPACK began in 2022 and culminated with the signing of the letter of intent in November 2024.
Since then, the technical and legal proceedings have been managed by the City Hall, through the Secretariat of Economic Development and Innovation, with the support of various agencies and strategic partners.
These processes are essential to ensure that all legal and technical aspects are met, creating a favorable environment for the establishment of new companies.
