New Factory in Pernambuco Could Generate Income and Jobs in the State

In a meeting at the Palácio do Campo das Princesas with the Governor of Pernambuco Paulo Câmara, the president of Blau Pharmaceuticals, Marcelo Han, estimated an investment of R$ 1 billion to establish the pharmaceutical company in Suape. He also projects the creation of one thousand direct jobs, some of which will be directed towards hiring pharmacists. However, the realization of actions depends on countermeasures.

The Suzano Pulp and Paper factory, inaugurated in March of this year, in the city of Cachoeiro do Itapemirim, in the southern part of the State of Espírito Santo, received investments of R$ 130 million and could generate over 500 jobs at the unit by the end of this year. The factory, which produces sanitary papers, has the capacity to produce 30,000 tons of toilet paper annually.

André Rocha Vieira de Brito, Corporate Relations Manager at Suzano, states that the local workforce is expected to account for about 65% of the total jobs created, with the generation of new jobs at the factory occurring in two phases.

The Corporate Relations Manager at Suzano says that the factory in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim was supported by an investment from Suzano, announced two years ago. At the peak of the factory’s construction, about 300 people were hired. The unit in southern Espírito Santo may still create more job opportunities by the end of this year.
