In addition to the construction of the new ceramics and sanitary metals factory in MG, Bertani also talked about the production of sanitary metals in Joinville and the inauguration of the showroom in SP. Recently, Docol went through a process of acquiring one of the factories of the Swiss multinational Franke, in Joinville, as well as managing one of the factories of Mekal in São Paulo in 2019.

Bertani emphasized that Docol will also enter new product categories, expanding its portfolio, which currently includes more than 2,400 items available on the market. The company aims to increase its international visibility, also facilitating the generation of new jobs and income. Docol currently exports its products to over 30 countries.

Docol expects that when the MG factory is operational between 2023 and 2024, it will continue to make substantial investments to further expand its brand name.

According to Guilherme Bertani, about R$ 300 million will be invested over four phases of the greenfield project, which involves the union between Docol and other factories in the area.
