SSM Brazil Plans to Install a New Factory in Pernambuco Due to Its Expansion into Other Markets. The Unit Will Create About 1,200 Jobs.

SSM Brazil, which operates in the steel and aluminum sector, recently announced the installation of a new factory in the city of Canhotinho, in the Agreste region of Pernambuco. It is expected that the new venture will bring about 800 to 1,200 direct and indirect job opportunities to the region.

Currently, SSM Brazil has two plants, one in Jaboatão dos Guararapes and another in São José dos Pinhais, in Paraná. The new front comes on the heels of the beginning of operations for steel and aluminum export to Europe and North America, starting from the Port of Suape.

The announcement was made this Tuesday (8), at the Palácio do Campo das Princesas, during a meeting between SSM Brazil CEO Bebiano and Governor Raquel Lyra (PSDB). Also present were the President of the State Assembly of Pernambuco (Alepe), State Deputy Álvaro Porto (PSDB), a native of Canhotinho, and the city mayor, Sandra Paes.

Currently, the company generates about 351 direct job opportunities and around 4,000 indirect job opportunities in the state. According to the management, the strategy is to maintain the Jaboatão dos Guararapes unit until the new Canhotinho factory is ready to receive all machinery, and from then on, transfer aluminum production and the steel line production.

According to Carlos Bebiano, the expectations were presented to Governor Raquel Lyra and were very well received, as the governor welcomed the new factory and celebrated the creation of jobs and income.

According to Raquel Lyra, initiatives are being taken so that Pernambuco can become a leader in the Northeast again, and this resurgence involves more investments and greater presence of companies in the State. Furthermore, this expansion corresponds to a very important agenda not only for the state but for the entire country, which is clean and renewable energy.
