The New Tractor Factory in Ceará Will Be Built by Belarus Minsk Tractor Works (MTW) and Will Generate Several Job Opportunities in the Area

A new tractor factory will be established in the state of Ceará, specifically in the city of Baturité. The State Government and the company Maquigeral Energia Indústria Comércio Maquinas LTDA (Maquigeral) signed a letter of intent this Monday, the 17th, for the implementation of this facility.

The installation of the tractor factory in Ceará brings with it the promise of significant job creation for the region. The multinational responsible for the venture in Ceará committed to creating at least 400 direct jobs, with 100 of these positions in the initial phase within a period of up to 12 months, and another 300 jobs during the expansion phase within a period of up to 36 months after the factory’s implementation. The total investment for the realization of this project in Ceará will be R$ 285 million.

To fill these positions, the workforce will be recruited through the Public Employment System (Sine) in partnership with the Institute for Labor Development (IDT). This partnership aims to ensure that workers in Ceará have access to the job opportunities generated by the new factory, contributing to the economic and social development of the region.

The Tractors That Will Be Produced at the Factory

One of the highlights is the production of the tractors that will be manufactured. The models that are expected to be assembled at the Baturité plant are known in Eastern Europe. Maquigeral sells the units of tractor from Belarus Minsk Tractor Works (MTW), using the name Maq Tractor and implementing Scania engines instead of Belarus. Additionally, Russian Rostselmash harvesters and Russian super-heavy Kirovets tanks will also be assembled.

It is believed that the vehicles will be assembled with parts imported from abroad. The establishment of a tractor factory in Ceará has been a long-held dream, and in 2016, the former Secretary of International Affairs, Antônio Balhmann, visited the Belarus MTW tractor factory. Belarus is known for producing light and heavy vehicles and also exports to Latin America. At the time of the visit, MTW was not selling to Brazil.

In Venezuela, MTW had an industrial plant that was winding down its operations. The focus of the State of Ceará was to attract this unit to the Export Processing Zone (ZPE).

With the installation of this tractor factory, Ceará strengthens its economy and generates new job opportunities for the region. The initiative represents an important advance for the local industry and highlights the strategic vision of the state in attracting investments and diversifying its productive sector.
