The Company’s Expansion Also Involved the Opening of Its E-Commerce and Support from Invest Minas

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.

According to Luís Machado, the factory’s tax manager: “Minas has always been an option, as we are already here and it keeps us close to our clients, who are automobile and truck manufacturers. The conditions for e-commerce are also attractive, in addition to the surrounding region of Santa Rita do Sapucaí and Pouso Alegre growing significantly. Metagal believes in the strength of the State and the region.”

Josiane Rafaella Faleiro, investment promotion analyst at Invest Minas responsible for the project, states that the expansion of the automotive sector has been achieving significant results in attracting investments. Thus, more jobs and income will be generated for the people of Minas.

For her, “it is this administration’s commitment to support those who create jobs and wealth for the people of Minas, reducing bureaucracy and providing security for investors to make investments. The expansion of Metagal is another positive result of this philosophy, which transforms into social gains as more one hundred people from Minas will have jobs and be able to provide better living conditions for their families and boost the local economy.”

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.
