According to the Estado de Minas Gerais newspaper, the factory will be located in the Industrial Center III on an area of 12 thousand square meters. “The municipality did not cede any square meter to them,” the mayor reported. The land was donated by the owners through a mobilization by Vilela. The expectation is that the installation will start later this year as soon as the sanitary surveillance permits are released. The process for obtaining the necessary environmental licenses will also begin. Currently, all steps are carried out within the municipality.

Vilela will meet with Governor Romeu Zema (Novo) on September 22 to detail the project that is already known to the State. Also participating will be the Secretary of Government, Igor Etto, the Chief of Staff of the General Secretariat, Luiz Otávio de Oliveira Gonçalves, Federal Deputy Domingos Sávio (PSDB), and State Deputy Gustavo Mitre (PSC).

This will be the second factory of the company in the world and is expected to generate around 150 direct and indirect jobs. The first plant is located in the United States, from where products are exported to 21 countries. In Brazil, production is in Betim, in the metropolitan region, operating on an outsourced line. “Brazil is the only country outside the United States that has local production,” said CEO Junior Ribeiro.

From Carmo do Cajuru, the company aims to extend distribution to all of Latin America. The strategic location was one of the points that attracted investors to the municipality of just over 22,900 inhabitants. “It is strategically well positioned for the product to be distributed nationally,” emphasized the CEO.

The proximity to the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ), located in Divinópolis, 15 km away, was another attraction for the factory, with the possibility of developing new products. The qualified labor force is also mentioned as another factor.

Cristália, a pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology laboratory with 100% national capital, has just announced the acquisition of another industrial plant to expand the production capacity of medicines. The business group purchased the property where the Santanense fabric factory operated, in Montes Claros, in Minas Gerais. The expected investments in the location are approximately R$ 300 million and about 700 new jobs could be created.

The acquired property has about 30 thousand square meters of built area, on a plot of 156 thousand square meters, and will undergo adjustments to comply with pharmaceutical industry standards. Both the renovation and the acquisition of equipment require time, and the expectation is that the factory will start operating in 2023.

The investment adds to another R$ 100 million that the company is investing in Pouso Alegre, in Southern Minas, in a factory for injectable medicines (ampoules and vials), already in operation. Montes Claros was chosen to host the factory due to the provision of tax incentives for the establishment of industries and because the property already has good infrastructure, accelerating the necessary works and adaptations to begin production. The region also has a qualified workforce, as around 700 direct jobs will be created in the next five years.
