Santa Rita do Sapucaí, known as the Valley of Electronics, was chosen by Metagal for investments, which received support from Invest Minas. With 60 years in the market, the company is a leader in the manufacturing of automotive mirrors and modern rearview systems.

Metagal expects total investments of approximately R$ 29 million to expand the production of the unit in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, in Southern Minas, and it is estimated that there will be a creation of around one hundred jobs in the new factories. The expansion of the company’s production included the opening of its e-commerce, which was completed at the end of January this year.
