Purina prepares for inauguration of new
Brazilian factory
Nestlé Purina signed an agreement with the Federation of
Industries of Santa Catarina (FIESC) to train about 150 people
in industrial operations. The agreement will enable residents
of the western area of Santa Catarina, Brazil, to work
at a new Purina facility set to begin operations late this year.
In 2021, Purina announced the construction of a new
40,000-square-meter industrial park in Vargeão. To date, the
company has invested a total of 2.5 billion Brazilian real ($506
million USD) in the industrial park, including the newest facility.
Construction on the facility began in 2022 and is estimated
to be completed at the end of this year with an inauguration
to take place in March 2024.
" The factory will already be born with an industry 4.0 concept,
in which we will operate with greater efficiency and productivity,
in addition to advantages such as the implementation,
control and maintenance of lines carried out remotely,
and the use of robots in various operations, which makes the
faster and safer process, " said Eric Zeller, business executive
officer of Nestlé Purina in Brazil. " The factory will be fully
automated and with digitalization implemented before the
start of production, with technology patented and developed
in recent years by Purina. "
The new facility will allow Purina to meet increasing global
demand for wet diets for dogs and cats, according to the
company. It will also further the company's growth and help
it consolidate Brazil into an important export platform by
providing it access to other countries, like Latin America, the
United States and Europe.
