Fibracem announces that by the end of 2022 it will invest an additional R$ 4 million in the expansion project of its factory located in the city of Linhares, in the state of Espírito Santo. According to the company’s planning and operations director, Eryck El-Jaick, this new phase of the factory’s expansion will occur to improve infrastructure and acquire cutting-edge equipment. New jobs will be opened at the unit in Linhares.
The executive further states that, with this additional investment, Fibracem will have invested a total of R$ 20 million in the factory. The expectation now is that Fibracem’s manufacturing division in Espírito Santo will account for 40% of the company’s total industrial production. The executive also states that, with this, the qualified labor force needed for the unit is expected to increase. “Still for this year, I believe that approximately 15%,” celebrates Eryck.
By the beginning of August 2021, the factory in Linhares, Espírito Santo, had more than 60 employees and even had four new job openings. Since last year, Fibracem’s unit in the north of Espírito Santo, in addition to the Distribution Center (CD), has also become a manufacturing unit.
