The Factory of the Air Conditioning Equipment Company Will Have an Annual Production Capacity of 1.3 Million Products, and the Estimate Is That the Facility Will Be Ready in 2024

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.

The new manufacturing unit will have a capacity to produce 1.3 million products per year, and Midea plans to invest about R$ 600 million in the venture, generating approximately 500 direct jobs and another 200 indirect jobs in the region.

Midea’s Global Expansion with Strategic Focus on Brazil

Midea is in a process of global expansion, and Brazil is considered one of the largest white goods markets in the world and the largest in Latin America. Currently, the multinational already has a stake in two factories in Brazil, in Manaus/AM and Canoas/RS, through a commercial partnership with Carrier, and the new factory in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, reinforces its strategic presence in the country, with job creation.
