PremieRpet Opened Its Pet Food Factory in Paraná This Week. The Facility is the Largest in Latin America and Received Investments of R$ 1.1 Billion. The Expectation is That the Arrival of the Facility in Brazilian Soil Will Generate One Thousand Direct and Indirect Jobs.

The Governor of Paraná, Carlos Massa Ratinho Júnior, was present at the inauguration of PremieRpet’s factory in Paraná, a national leader in high-quality food for dogs and cats, on Thursday (30). It is the largest pet food factory in Latin America and was built with investments exceeding R$ 1.1 billion. At this stage, about 350 direct and 700 indirect jobs will be generated.

New Factory Received R$ 120 Billion in Investments in the State

The establishment of PremieRpet’s factory in Paraná, which promises to generate thousands of jobs, received support from the State Government through tax incentive programs. The venture is part of the total of R$ 120 billion in private investments in new plants or factory expansions in Paraná, which began in 2019.

According to the state governor, the region is being transformed, considering that PremieRpet has installed the largest pet food production facility in Latin America. Ratinho Jr stated that the project will directly influence the development of Campos Gerais, boosting commerce and the service sector in general.

The governor also emphasizes that municipalities require incentives to boost their economy and provide a better quality of life for the population, creating jobs and income. Paraná aims to provide this support. Ratinho Junior highlighted that job and income generation is a priority defended by the Government.

Paraná is currently the fourth state with the highest job creation in Brazil. There have been 75,900 jobs created over the first five months of this year, the best performance in the Southern region. Last year, the state reached a record high of formal jobs created, with more than 170,000 vacancies opened for the population. 

PremieRpet Factory Starts Its Production

The location of Porto Amazonas is strategic, as the municipality is close to suppliers of protein and grains and large consumers. Additionally, it has a strong road network and easy access to rail and port areas, presenting favorable conditions to receive imported commodities and help expand the business.

According to Elias Jocid Gomes da Costa, the mayor of Porto Amazonas, the municipality has 5,000 inhabitants, so the jobs generated by the new structure represent about 20% of its population.

PremieRpet’s factory in Paraná begins production after three years of construction, consolidating the most technologically advanced industrial hub in Latin America in the sector. PremieRpet owns brands such as PremieR, Vitta Natural, and Golden. According to the company’s president, Fabio Maluf, with this new operation, the group will double its capacity for dry food production.

Company Invests in Sustainability and Job Creation

With advanced extrusion lines and an exclusive lab with high analytical capacity, it boasts 92,000 square meters of built area and a production capacity of 660,000 tons of dog and cat food per year.

According to Cássio Macedo da Costa, there is a total area of 1 million m². The factory, generating hundreds of jobs, has been developed to achieve LEED Gold certification, the main label awarded to green buildings that meet international standards.

This certification demonstrates that the company met a series of precise requirements in the construction process of the factory: site and transportation, water efficiency, sustainable space, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, materials and resources, innovative design, and adherence to regional properties.
