The portfolio includes energy-efficient products that can meet commercial applications of small, medium, and large scale, from beverage coolers, displays, to refrigerated storage.

The implementation will require the construction of a new 700-square-meter warehouse in Santa Catarina to provide additional storage areas and allow adjustments in the internal layout of the new production line. Land regularization works have been completed, and the construction of the warehouse began in May, which could generate over 100 new direct job opportunities.
The refrigeration solutions produced by the factory primarily serve the Brazilian market but also cater to Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia.
