The Chinese giant Midea, one of the largest manufacturers of household appliances and a leader in air conditioning equipment, has started construction of its first 100% owned factory in Brazil, located in Pouso Alegre, in the south of Minas Gerais, which will generate hundreds of jobs directly and indirectly, according to the site O Tempo.
