The New Nissin Foods Factory in Ponta Grossa Promises to Generate 550 Direct Jobs by 2027, with an Investment of R$ 1 Billion Focused on Innovation and Export.
The Japanese multinational Nissin Foods is heavily investing in Paraná. The brand’s new factory is being built in Ponta Grossa, in the Campos Gerais region, with an expected completion date by April 2027. The project, which received an investment of R$ 1 billion through the Paraná Competitivo program, is expected to create over 550 direct jobs and boost the local economy.
The construction was inspected this Tuesday (15) by Vice Governor Darci Piana, accompanied by the Secretary of Finance, Norberto Ortigara, and the Consul General of Japan, Yasuhiro Mitsui.
The group closely observed the progress of the installation and the future expansion plans of Nissin Foods in the state.

The New Nissin Foods Factory Will Be One of the Largest Industrial Complexes in the Region
Located at km 164 of PR-151 highway, between Ponta Grossa and Castro, the new Nissin Foods unit will occupy a total area of 413.2 thousand square meters. Of this total, 68.2 thousand square meters will be designated for the construction of the manufacturing structure.
The plant will produce both traditional packaged instant noodles and the cup noodles line, with part of the production aimed at export.
With this, Nissin consolidates its global presence from Brazil, strengthening its footprint in the Latin American market.
Investment Attracts Institutional Support and Strengthens Regional Development
According to Vice Governor Darci Piana, the project symbolizes Paraná’s strategic role as a hub for attracting large companies.
“This significant investment from Nissin demonstrates how Paraná is increasingly consolidating its ability to attract investments, not only from within the country but also from abroad, as is the case with the Japanese,” he stated.
The Nissin Foods factory is just one of the 467 contracts signed through the Paraná Competitivo program, coordinated by the Secretary of Finance in partnership with Invest Paraná. Together, these agreements already total over R$ 57 billion in private investments in the state.
Workforce Qualification and Future Expansion Are Already on the Radar
The presence of Nissin Foods will also bring positive impacts on the professional training of the local population.
The CEO of Invest Paraná, Eduardo Bekin, highlighted that the state government is providing direct support for worker training.
“The Government of Paraná will support the company in the professional training process for workers. We have several programs in this area and we are putting the entire state structure in place to support this major investment for Ponta Grossa,” Bekin said.
Moreover, even before the completion of the factory, studies for an expansion of the industrial complex are already underway.
The possibility of new investments is being analyzed, which could represent even more jobs and development for the Campos Gerais region.
State Program Focuses on Innovation, Jobs, and Productive Diversification
For the Secretary of Finance, Norberto Ortigara, investments like those from Nissin Foods reinforce Paraná’s commitment to innovation, income generation, and sustainability.
“The strongest proof that Paraná has established itself as a strong and attractive state for both national and foreign investors is indeed the large number of companies wanting to set up here,” Ortigara stated.
The Paraná Competitivo program, according to him, aims not only to attract capital but to create a virtuous cycle that directly benefits the population.
“Additionally, we also evaluate the job potential that will be generated so that these benefits reach the population, and the entire region can benefit from these investments,” he concluded.
