The works for the construction of the new Heineken brewery in Pedro Leopoldo, in the state of Minas Gerais, are about to begin. Six months after the official announcement of the installation of a Heineken brewery in the state, the company is awaiting the issuance of licenses from the State Secretary of Environment and Sustainable Development of Minas Gerais.

Details About the Execution of the Works of the New Heineken Brewery in Minas Gerais

The company Tucumann Engenharia, from the city of Curitiba in Paraná, will carry out the construction works and is already offering positions for earthmoving and drainage activities on the site that will host the brewery. Heineken’s new project has already received investments of R$ 1.8 billion and will be the 16th factory of the group in Brazil.

In May, it was reported that the brewery Heineken had already acquired land from the Bank of Development of Minas Gerais (BDMG), had purchased an area from Precon Engenharia, and was negotiating other areas around. At the time, the company did not comment on the matter, but the report had access to documents and information indicating that the construction will be near where the enterprise was to be located. A source related to the negotiations, who requested anonymity, detailed that the brewery’s installation will occur on a combination of four plots of land.

This time, Heineken disclosed that it will soon begin the earthmoving on the site of its future brewery in Pedro Leopoldo and that the contracted company is recruiting professionals for this work. The company emphasized that it is waiting for the license to be issued by the responsible agency of the state of Minas Gerais.

The State of Minas Gerais with Large Breweries

With the arrival of Heineken, the state of Minas Gerais now hosts factories of major brands operating in Brazil, such as Ambev and Grupo Petrópolis. It is worth noting that the information about the state’s selection for the establishment of the unit was anticipated in February last year. In December, Governor Romeu Zema (Novo) officially announced the investment through a video posted on social media.
