The New Factory That Will Open Jobs Will Be Built by Nordex/Acciona in the City of Lajes, Located in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Norte

Yesterday, Monday (09/13), thanks to an articulation made by Senator Jean (PT), the company Nordex/Acciona will open a new concrete factory in Lajes, in the central region of Rio Grande do Norte. Company representatives in a meeting with the senator announced that the new factory, which will produce reinforced concrete towers for the installation of wind farms in the region, will generate the creation of more than 450 direct jobs with an investment of R$ 32 million.

The Senator’s Articulation to Attract the Factory to the City of Lajes

In a meeting with the potiguar senator, Nordex/Acciona’s commercial director, David Lobo, emphasized the region’s importance, strategic for the company as it is in the center of the State and close to the main wind farms: “We want to make the inauguration of the factory feasible by the first half of next year,” stated the director.

For Senator Jean Paul, bringing the factory to Lajes is another sign of how the market in the sector is growing exponentially in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The directors sought the senator’s articulation with the State Government and the City Hall of Lajes: “Much is said about the counterpart that wind energy generates for RN. Beyond the energy self-sufficiency guaranteed to our State, the sector also offers direct and indirect jobs that empower the potiguar workforce and have a direct impact on people’s lives. I have already spoken with the mayor of Lajes, Felipe Menezes, and I am in dialogue with Governor Fátima Bezerra to accelerate the arrival of this new boost to our economy,” he stated.

Investments in the Wind Sector

The foreign group has been operating in the Brazilian market since 2013 and is responsible for producing precast concrete towers that support the wind turbines. With the new factory in RN, Nordex/Acciona will further promote investments in this sector.

Meanwhile, SR Energia’s director, Eduardo Vieira, defended the investment to boost the wind sector: “In order to ensure the necessary infrastructure for the installation of parks with concrete support towers, we need to bring the factory closer, reducing costs and increasing construction capacity,” he pointed out.

Toyota announced that it will reopen a third work shift at its factory in Sorocaba, in the interior of São Paulo state, starting in January. The Japanese automaker, little affected by the semiconductor crisis, will operate on a 24-hour schedule, and the company will hire 450 employees starting this month. Another 50 jobs will be generated in other group units and 350 in the region’s supply chain.

As mentioned on another occasion, in an interview with Jornal Cruzeiro do Sul, Toyota Brazil informed on July 6 that it was already studying the possibility of resuming the 3rd shift at the factory in Sorocaba starting next year. At the time, the company had not yet confirmed the possible new jobs to be created at the factory, but speculation estimated that 400 jobs would be created.

Toyota Brazil stated that it has been continuously evaluating various internal and market scenarios to ensure the sustainability of its operations in the Country. Therefore, it confirms that it is in dialogue with the union to analyze the feasibility of the third shift at the Sorocaba factory starting in 2022. The number of possible new job vacancies has not yet been confirmed.
