Details on the construction of the new Nestlé unit in Santa Catarina
According to information disclosed by the Valor Econômico website, the investment will be for the Purina feed factory, the second in the country, which will have production destined for the domestic market and could become the company's largest unit in Brazil. The new factory, now belonging to the state of Santa Catarina, should also supply the products to the United States and Europe, with the aim of increasing the share of exports in production from the current 15% to 20%.
The new Nestlé factory should be built on a plot of more than one million square meters, according to the Valor Econômico website, in the industrial zone of Vargeão, on the banks of the BR-282, with the first phase delivered in the second half of 2023. This region was chosen because it is an important producer of animal protein and grains, essential inputs for Purina products.

The new jobs generated by Nestlé at the new factory in the state
The initial forecast is that around 200 jobs will be opened in the coming years and, during the installation stages, more than 1,8 outsourced workers will be hired to implement and develop the park. The project will accelerate Purina's growth in a strategic market for the Nestlé Group.
The industrial park will have the structure dimensioned to contemplate other phases of expansion and installation of more production lines for wet and dry food and other technologies of the petfood industry, with the possibility of quadrupling its structure that will initially be built in Vargeão. To meet the development's potential, the company is prospecting a private area in the municipality of Vargeão, located in the western region of Santa Catarina.
Marcel de Barros, CEO of Nestlé Purina in Brazil, says they are confident they will bring this important investment to the state of Santa Catarina. According to Marcel, the location where the new factory will be installed is strategic to accelerate growth. They also understood that the new factory, due to its complementarity, will generate value for the region's production chains with the increased demand for inputs from the existing agroindustry, concluded the CEO.
