According to Viktor Nobre, a partner at BTS Properties, developing a factory for a multinational requires special dedication, involving teams and suppliers from various countries.
Viktor also states that it is necessary to understand processes, demands, priorities, and find the best solutions. According to Nobre, the company has the support of the Government of the State of Minas Gerais and the City Hall of Pouso Alegre.

The multinational’s new factory, which promises to create numerous job opportunities, began construction in April of last year and occupies an area of 18,713.63 m². The new unit will be the first in the baking sector to have continuous freezing technology, meaning that the breads will be produced automatically, without the need for manual labor, ensuring that the product is more standardized.
