According to Verallia’s General Director in South America, Quintin Testa, the investment in the southern part of the country was already part of the company’s plans. In addition, the market’s demand accelerated the decision, indicating that the company’s strategy is on the right track. Verallia aims to close the year 2021 with record production in Brazil, around 7% to 8% of the total recorded.
The investment applied in the expansion will create approximately 140 direct permanent jobs and another 30 indirect ones in the region. Throughout the construction, the hiring of subcontractors is expected to reach 1,000 indirect jobs during its civil construction phase, totaling 1,170 job vacancies generated.
The new furnaces from Verallia for glass packaging production will follow all standards in terms of technology from its other factories around the world.
