When completed, the work at Porto do Açu, in Rio de Janeiro, will be the largest in the world in logistics activities, and it already generates several jobs in the area
The work on Aliseo's logistics base, at Porto do Açu, located in São João da Barra, in the north of Rio de Janeiro, are already 80% complete and will soon start operating as the largest logistics center in the world, according to the O Dia website.
The work at Porto do Açu has already generated more than 1.600 jobs for residents of the Rio de Janeiro region, with around 650 direct jobs and 1000 indirect jobs. 58% of these job openings were filled by people who live locally. The work at Porto do Açu occupies a total area of 160m² and enjoys a privileged position in the northern part of the state.
As much as Rio de Janeiro has experienced a political, institutional and moral crisis, and consequently has pushed away investments, currently the reality is different. Today, the state receives several proposals for investments in different sectors, and in the last 2 years the government has approved about 27 projects to encourage the development of the state and several job opportunities, including those that Porto do Açu generated.

Investments in the state and jobs in the region of Rio de Janeiro, at Porto do Açu
Faced with the return of the leading role in investments in the area where Porto do Açu is located, the state is returning to play a certain role in the Brazilian economy, moving from last place to second in terms of job creation in the country.
According to the Secretary for Economic Development of Rio de Janeiro, Vinícius Farah: “We are working together with various secretariats and bodies so that the demands of companies that are investing in Rio de Janeiro are resolved more quickly within the government”.
For Thiago Lemgruber, president of OSX Brasil, Rio de Janeiro is attracting several companies for different investments. “In the last two years, we have expanded the number of partner brands operating in the OSX space and the new moment that the state of Rio is going through has brought credibility to help attract new investors to the super Porto do Açu, as is the case with Aliseo.”

Our focus is to provide quality services, with environmental responsibility and a vision of the future. The presence of secretary Vinicius Farah at our construction site makes us very satisfied. In addition to transmitting to him some of our investment plans in the state, we had the opportunity to show what we are already doing at present and show the public the generation of jobs that the works at Porto do Açu brought about”.
