The construction of the new IBC Brasil factory has already begun with the land grading, and the start of operations is scheduled for October of this year. The factory will be located near the highway that connects Santo Eduardo and Cacimbinha.

Regarding the jobs that will be generated on-site, the executives of International Barite Company Brasil assured that local labor from the municipality in Espírito Santo will be prioritized. The mayor of Presidente Kennedy (ES), Dorlei Fontão da Cruz, stated that IBC Brasil will directly and indirectly supply various drilled wells across the country with its products from the city in Espírito Santo. According to him, receiving such large investments in the municipality makes them believe they are on the path to development.
