Investments in the New Production Line, in Joinville, Santa Catarina
The forecast is that the new production line will begin in the second half of this year. With the new line, production will increase by 17%; today the production capacity of the Joinville factory is approximately 17 million compressors per year, and it will increase to 20 million compressors per year. The new investment by the company will also lead to the creation of new jobs.
