With Cutting-Edge Technology and Large-Scale Production Capacity, the New Factory in Minas Gerais Boosts the Local Economy and Promises to Open Hundreds of Jobs in the Animal Nutrition Sector.
Castelo Alimentos, known as the largest vinegar manufacturer in Latin America, has taken a big step in its history! While celebrating its 119 years of existence, the company inaugurated a new factory in Contagem, Minas Gerais. Headquartered in Jundiaí, São Paulo, the company decided to expand its operations to Minas, marking a new phase of growth and reinforcing its commitment to national presence. The expectation is that the new factory will generate hundreds of jobs.
With an investment of R$ 20 million, the new factory of Castelo Alimentos in Contagem occupies 10,000 square meters and promises to be a strategic hub for production and distribution. The expectation is that it will produce between 10 and 15 million liters of vinegar per year, supplying not only Minas Gerais but also important regions such as the Federal District, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and São Paulo.
The New Factory of Castelo Alimentos and the Impact on the Local Economy
For Contagem and the entire region, the inauguration of the new factory of Castelo Alimentos means more than just vinegar production; it is an opportunity to strengthen the local economy with new jobs and investments.

According to Marcelo Cereser, CEO of Castelo Alimentos, the choice of Minas Gerais as the site for the new factory was not by chance.
“To determine the location, we analyzed various regions of the country and decided on Minas Gerais due to its strategic geographical location, the potential of the consumer market, and a favorable business environment. Our goal is to expand our participation in other areas of Brazil,” he explained.
This location allows the company to optimize its distribution to various regions, ensuring that Castelo Alimentos products reach consumers in different states more easily and quickly.
The Production Potential and Quality of Castelo Alimentos
The new factory of Castelo Alimentos is an ambitious project that will allow the company to reinforce its position as a leader in the vinegar market. With an annual production capacity of between 10 and 15 million liters, the factory is prepared to meet growing demand and ensure the brand’s presence in new areas of Brazil.
Initially, the unit will only produce vinegar, the company’s flagship product. But the space includes a large storage warehouse for other products in the portfolio, which facilitates the distribution of these items throughout Brazil. Thus, the new unit in Contagem not only increases production but also optimizes Castelo Alimentos’ logistics.
Job Creation and Castelo’s Commitment to Local Development
One of the major advantages of the new factory of Castelo Alimentos is job creation. The arrival of a production unit of this size brings various job opportunities to the Contagem region.
This includes direct positions, such as machine operators, quality technicians, logistics professionals, and administrative staff, as well as indirect jobs created by the movement of the local economy.
The investment of R$ 20 million not only increases the company’s production capacity but also boosts the job market, providing opportunities at a time when the economy seeks to recover.
The expectation is that, with the increase in demand and the expansion of the portfolio, more jobs will be created at the Contagem unit, consolidating Castelo Alimentos as one of the companies that invests the most in developing the region.
Expansion of Castelo Alimentos in Brazil
The new factory is an essential part of Castelo Alimentos’ growth strategy, which aims to expand its presence throughout the national territory. With production geared not only for Minas Gerais but also for states like the Federal District, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Bahia, and Espírito Santo, the brand is positioning itself to become even more accessible to Brazilian consumers.
This expansion is also a response to the growing demand for vinegar and quality food products. With a new unit in a strategic location, Castelo Alimentos is prepared to serve consumers more quickly and efficiently, reinforcing its prominent position in the food market.
The History and Tradition of Castelo Alimentos
With more than a century of history, Castelo Alimentos is one of the most traditional brands in Brazil. Founded 119 years ago, the company began its journey in Jundiaí, São Paulo, and has since established itself as the largest producer of vinegar in Latin America. Over the years, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include other food products, always maintaining a commitment to quality.
The opening of the new factory in Contagem is another chapter in this long history of success. The company continues to innovate and invest in technologies that help maintain the high quality standards of its products while providing more efficient logistics aimed at the future.
In addition to expanding its production, Castelo Alimentos maintains its commitment to sustainability. The new unit in Contagem was designed with technologies and processes that help reduce the consumption of natural resources and minimize environmental impact. The company constantly seeks to optimize the use of water and energy, ensuring that production is as sustainable as possible.
Minas em pleno crescimento.
