Lactalis Announces Significant Support to Strengthen Production and Expand Operations in the Leading Milk Production State in Brazil

The Lactalis Group, world leader in the dairy market, confirmed a new investment of R$ 250 million in Minas Gerais, reinforcing its commitment to the economic development and productive chain of the state. The amount will be allocated to the modernization and expansion of the company’s seven industrial units in Minas, further strengthening the state’s status as the largest milk producer in the country, according to the website Itatiaia.

Minas Gerais: A Strategic Hub for the Dairy Sector

Governor Romeu Zema highlighted the importance of this investment in dairy for the local economy, emphasizing how Lactalis’ expansion will contribute to the development of the milk production chain. With this new scale, private investments attracted in Minas Gerais since 2019 approach the mark of R$ 1 trillion.

Minas has already established itself as a national leader in milk production, and this expansion will allow for the modernization of the factories and strengthening of the partnership between Lactalis and local producers. According to the Secretary of Economic Development, Fernando Passalio, the state has adopted a personalized approach to attract and finalize private investments.

Impact on the Productive Chain and Job Creation

Lactalis already has a solid presence in Minas Gerais, with factories in municipalities such as Uberlândia, Sete Lagoas, and Sabará, in addition to logistics units in Contagem and an administrative sector in Belo Horizonte. Currently, the group generates 3,654 direct jobs in the state, a number that is expected to increase with the new investments planned until 2026.

The CEO of Lactalis in Brazil, Roosevelt Junior, emphasized the relevance of Minas for the group’s operations. The state hosts the company’s 23 factories in the country, representing 30% of the company’s total employees in Brazil.

Sustainable Investments and Vision for the Future

Lactalis has already invested R$ 736 million in Minas since 2020, always with the support of the State Government through the Secretariat of Economic Development (Sede-MG) and Invest Minas. This new investment from the dairy company reaffirms the company’s strategic vision of growth in partnership with local producers and the government, generating economic and social value for the region.

With a robust plan for expansion and modernization, the dairy company Lactalis not only boosts the economy of Minas Gerais but also strengthens Brazil’s position as a global reference in the dairy market.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

China and Brazil’s ally, Russia, a BRICS power, launches a rocket equipped with military satellites into space.

Naval engineering revolutionizes the sector with the world’s first electric tugboat capable of reducing emissions by 90% through a hybrid system.

Chinese engineers begin construction of a 50 MW solar thermal power plant at an altitude of 4,550 meters and prepare a complex with 400 MW of photovoltaic capacity to integrate stable clean energy on the Tibetan Plateau.

Brazil could enter an era of incapacitating heat for outdoor work, with productivity losses above 90% in the North by the end of the century and an impact that threatens agriculture, construction, and the economy on a national scale.
