Bauer Group collapses after failed judicial recovery: 25 years, 800 vehicles, and a network of gas stations leave a debt of R$ 50 million and 100 layoffs, exposing costs, tight margins, and expensive credit in Brazil.
The Goiás delegation was led by Governor Ronaldo Caiado, who highlighted the importance of the agreement for the state and for the municipality of Catalão, where the factory has been located for 27 years.
Catalão as an International Platform
With the new authorization, the Goiás unit will also function as an international production platform.
Until now, the factory produced vehicles exclusively for the Brazilian market. Now, with the possibility of exporting, an increase in production and, consequently, job creation is expected.
“The signing of this agreement is very important. As soon as it begins, it will automatically increase vehicle production and we will have more jobs at the plant in Catalão,” said Mayor Velomar Rios.
Incentive for the Local Industry
For Governor Ronaldo Caiado, this is a moment of celebration for the automotive industry in the state.
“Mitsubishi Motors is one of the most renowned international companies. We came here especially to expand our partnerships,” he stated.
He also reinforced Goiás’ commitment to expanding the factory: “It makes us, Goiás residents, proud to host it in Brazil.”
Investments and Recognition
Mitsubishi Motors in Japan also recently announced that it will invest R$ 4 billion in the Catalão unit by 2032.
Today, the factory produces two models: the SUV Eclipse Cross with 4×4 traction and the new Triton pickup.
The CEO of the company, Takao Kato, emphasized the importance of the Brazilian market and state support. “The success of our business in Brazil is largely due to the warm support of the Government of Goiás, including tax incentives and infrastructure improvements,” he said.
