The New Factory of the Multinational in Paraná

The German multinational of agricultural machinery and equipment is not entirely new to Brazil. It has been operating in the country since 2017, in a rented warehouse in Paraná’s capital, Campo do Santana. With the new investment, the company will move from a limited operation in a 3,000 m² warehouse on an 18,000 m² plot to a 158,000 m² area, of which 32,000 m² will be covered.

It is estimated that the workforce will grow from the current 120 employees to 400 in five years in Joinville, Paraná. So far, R$ 50 million has already been invested to implement the first phase of the factory. With the German multinational’s factory fully operational, the Brazilian market alone will already represent a significant contribution to the group’s overall results worldwide.

Projects and Jobs Created with the New Machinery and Equipment Unit

The General Director of HORSCH Brazil, Rodrigo Duck, says, “With the new factory coming online, expected to start in early 2023, the generation of new direct and indirect jobs will be much greater.”

Rodrigo emphasizes that the company is ready to begin a solid expansion in Brazil, which serves as an excellent laboratory that can enable faster adaptability and more accurately meet the production needs of various crops and regions of Brazil. The executive of the German multinational also states that the company will produce machines with advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence in this factory in Brazil, capable of learning and resolving issues that arise in the field during operation in real-time.
