The household appliance company Britânia, owner of the American brand Philco in Brazil, has started construction on the new factory in the municipality of Linhares, located in the northern part of the state of Espírito Santo.

Announcement of the Construction of the New Factory in Espírito Santo

The mayor of the city in northern Espírito Santo, Guerino Zanon, announced the start of the construction through a social media platform. “It is with pleasure that we announce the beginning of the largest manufacturing project in Espírito Santo. The Britânia/Philco factory will begin construction in our city, Linhares, with 70,000 m2 of factory floor and will generate more than 2,000 direct jobs for locals,” he said.

According to Zanon, there were four years of many trips between Curitiba and Linhares. And the result, when the relationship with entrepreneurs and the public sector is treated with reliability between the parties, is success, the mayor concluded, expressing gratitude regarding the installation of the new factory in the state of Espírito Santo.

Production of the New Manufacturing Unit

The new factory will produce small appliances, such as blenders, food processors, and fans. The estimate is that 16 million items will be produced annually, according to the city hall. The new industry will be located in the region of the districts of Bebedouro and Rio Quartel, along the BR-101 highway, and will have 65,000 square meters of built area.

In addition to promoting job creation for workers in the region and thus ensuring the economic development of the municipality, the city hall believes that the factory will have a positive impact on the economy of all Espírito Santo.

Brametal will invest R$ 7 million to build a new factory in the Linhares complex, in the state of Espírito Santo. The new unit will focus on the production line to serve the photovoltaic solar energy generation market. The company already has a factory in the northern part of the state, as well as another unit in Criciúma, Santa Catarina, totaling a production capacity of up to 200,000 tons/year.

In addition to building the new factory dedicated to manufacturing items for the photovoltaic solar energy generation market, the company has expanded its portfolio and is launching two new products: the Brafix 3.0 and the Bifacial Tracker (structures for solar energy generation).

Marcos Bercht, the industrial director of Brametal, states that in addition to the investment in the new factory, another R$ 5 million will be allocated for the development of the engineering sector and new products, thus expanding our production capacity with the new plant. With this, we will be able to reduce lead time, have stock of raw materials and finished products of the entire line to meet market demands, says the director.
