This week, Electrolux unveiled its new factory in the community of São José dos Pinhais, in Paraná. The facility is a significant milestone for the city, with a strong investment of R$ 700 million; thus, the construction of the new company promises to bring economic growth and thousands of job opportunities.
Sustainable Development and Job Creation
The new unit, which will begin operations later this year, represents not only an economic advance but also a commitment to sustainability. Electrolux plans to build the first fully sustainable factory in Latin America. Certifications such as Zero Landfill are already secured, and the company is seeking the renowned Leed certification, reinforcing its environmental commitment from conception to operation.
With water and energy management, including the reuse of treated effluents and a dedicated rainwater collection system, Electrolux aims to lead not only in product innovation but also in environmentally responsible industrial practices.

Electrolux: Renewable Energy and Impact in the Region
One of the highlights is generating all electricity from renewable sources, including the installation of solar panels. The new factory will also set aside 20% of more than 1.5 million square meters of land for permanent preservation, demonstrating a commitment beyond the factory walls.
The signing of the letter of intent, attended by Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Júnior, the Mayor of São José dos Pinhais, and the President of Electrolux Latin America, Leandro Jasiocha, highlights government support and the strategic partnership between the company and the state of Paraná.
Market Expansion and Local Benefits
For São José dos Pinhais, Electrolux is not just a new factory; it is a market investment, diversifying an economy traditionally recognized in the automotive sector. The multinational, a world leader in home appliances, will bring jobs as well as improvements to the region’s infrastructure.
The new unit will contribute both to the production capacity of refrigeration lines and to the creation of models purchased from abroad, solidifying Electrolux‘s presence as an economic and environmental pillar in the region. This investment promises to be profitable for the company and for the community of Paraná, with job opportunities in sight.
