Job Generation at the New Factory
The city of Montes Claros was chosen to host the factory because it offers tax incentives for industry establishment and due to the fact that the property already has good infrastructure, speeding up the necessary construction and adaptations for the start of production. The region also has qualified labor, and approximately 700 direct jobs will be generated over the next five years.
The President of the Board of Directors and General Director of Laboratory Cristália, Ricardo Pacheco, says that this acquisition is part of Cristália’s expansion plan, which works daily to meet the growing market demand in Brazil in the coming years.
