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.
