Acron wins the tender for the Petrobras Fertilizer Factory in Três Lagoas. Company representatives are already on site to settle the details
Since the Petrobras decided to dispose of the Petrobras Nitrogen Fertilizer Factory (UFN-III) in the early days of crisis that hit the state-owned company in 2014, during which there were many concerns about jobs and the continuity of the works in Três Lagoas due to the fact that the project was part of Petrobras' divestment plan. Well, Senator Pedro Chaves (PRB) announces that the Russians will take over the factory and works now, after winning the bid. The company name is Acron.
Acron says that the works should be resumed within an estimated period of 60 days and will pay the 178 suppliers who are not receiving Petrobras since the beginning of the crisis, in fact, many of them have declared bankruptcy due to non-payment by the state-owned company, with gross debts amounting to R$ 38 million reais. With this new scenario, there is a certain spirit among companies and expectations for the recovery.
The senator points out that 6 groups were in the dispute for this factory, then there were 2 left and a consortium from Russia ended up taking over the project. JIt is correct and sanctioned, they are already in the region working out all the logistical details to settle any type of embargo as soon as possible, Chaves asserts passionately in the interview. It is not yet known if the hiring of workers will happen through outsourced companies or directly with Acron, but finally, if you want to enter the official website of the company and leave your resume there, it would not cost anything.
