New Olsen Factory in Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Advances with Investment of R$ 80 Million.

The new headquarters of Olsen S/A is taking shape in the industrial district of Palhoça, with the construction of the new factory progressing according to the established schedule. With a total area of 34,000 square meters and an estimated investment of around R$ 80 million, the project is in the final phase of flooring installation and preparation for electrical network infrastructure. The expectation is that the new plant will be completed by August 2025.

Olsen’s Construction Project and Local Commitment

The founder and president of Olsen, Cesar Olsen, emphasized the importance of using local and state companies for the realization of the project.

“We have all the solutions available for the demands of this new factory construction. They are local and state companies, headquartered or based here, that meet the quality and competitiveness requirements outlined in the project,” highlighted the businessman. This approach not only strengthens the local economy but also ensures that the project meets the specific needs of the region.

At the beginning of the construction, the city of Palhoça faced a significant flood, which brought unexpected challenges to the project.

As a precautionary measure, the company chose to raise the ground level by 1.20 meters before starting the piling phase of the project.

This precaution aimed to ensure the stability of the construction and avoid potential problems related to future flooding.

Currently, the work is focused on flooring installation, with a specialized project designed to withstand heavy forklift traffic.

The flooring is being installed in an area of 17,000 square meters, designed to support a load of up to two tons per square meter.

The work includes strict leveling controls and a mirrored smooth finish to ensure the durability of the concrete and minimize structural damage.

Aspects of the New Factory and Benefits for Employees

Julio Cesar do Nascimento, production manager at Olsen and technical supervisor of the project, emphasized that the new factory was designed with employee well-being in mind.

The project includes a ceiling height of 9 meters, providing a more spacious and comfortable environment.

In addition, the ventilation and natural lighting system was developed to enhance thermal comfort, with the ability to reduce internal temperatures by up to 6 degrees.

The new plant will allow Olsen a significant increase in production capacity, aiming to reach 1,500 sets per month within three years.

This advancement is an essential part of the company’s strategy to expand its operations and meet the growing demand for its products.

Impact on the Community and Expectations for the Future of Olsen’s Factory

In addition to the direct benefits for the company, Olsen’s new factory will also have a positive impact on the local community.

The creation of new jobs and the economic activity generated by the construction and operation of the factory are expected to significantly contribute to regional development.

The company is already in the process of recruiting for new positions that will arise with the inauguration of the plant, offering opportunities for various professional profiles in the area.

The project for the new factory not only stands out for its size and investment but also for the adoption of innovative and sustainable practices.

Olsen is committed to the implementation of technologies aimed at energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Among the initiatives are the use of sustainable construction materials and the integration of systems that promote energy savings.

These practices reflect the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

Supporting Regional Growth

The company has plans to expand its product line and increase its presence in the national and international markets.

The factory is an important milestone for Olsen and for the city of Palhoça, symbolizing a significant step toward the future and continuous development.
