WEG, one of the largest manufacturers of turbines and electric motors in the world, supplied 288 motors from the WELL and W60 lines to Cargill. Located in Bebedouro, in the interior of São Paulo, the pectin factory is the first built by the company outside Europe, with its products destined for markets such as Asia and South America.

With operations starting in late 2021, the new factory has WEG motors throughout the plant, featuring the American standard IEEE841. This ensures higher reliability, better corrosion resistance, and extended lifespan, both for safe and classified areas.
