Various Investments in the State of Amazonas
In the opinion of the vice president of Fieam, Nelson Azevedo, the decision of these companies to establish themselves and invest in the PIM demonstrates that entrepreneurs believe in the Manaus Free Trade Zone model. “Despite some dissonant signals emitted by Brasília that cause legal insecurity, entrepreneurs are confident to continue with their projects in the region. Another factor that makes us happy is the deployment projects. These are new products or new companies that are bringing investments to the Industrial Pole and signaling the expansion of jobs,” he celebrates.
He says that the sector believes in the resumption of economic growth and the expansion of business in the Manaus Free Trade Zone. “We will remain vigilant to maintain the attractiveness of the region and advance in this development project.”

The mayor of the northern city of Espírito Santo, Guerino Zanon, announced the start of the work through a social network. “We are pleased to announce the start of the largest industrial project in Espírito Santo. The Britânia/Philco factory will start being built in our city, Linhares, with 70,000 m2 of factory floor that will generate more than 2,000 direct jobs for the locals,” he said.
According to Zanon, it took four years of many trips between Curitiba and Linhares. And the result, when the relationship with entrepreneurs and the public sector is treated with reliability between the parties, is success, concluded the mayor, expressing gratitude for the installation of the new factory in the state of Espírito Santo. In addition to promoting job creation for local workers and thus ensuring the economic development of the municipality, the city hall believes that the factory will have a positive impact on the economy of the entire Espírito Santo.
