Glass packaging manufacturer announces investment of R $330 million in Jacutinga

Verallia, a French multinational that operates in the manufacture of glass packaging in 11 countries, announced an investment of R $330 million in the installation of a company unit in Jacutinga (MG). The factory, which is already ready and in the testing phase, should be inaugurated in early July. The complex is located in the MG-290 and occupies an area of 231,000 square meters, being 42000 square meters of constructed area. The Jacutinga unit will have a production capacity of 1.1 million glass bottles per day. The forecast is that the company manages at least 170 direct jobs. One of the reasons for choosing the city for the installation of the plant is the availability of natural gas, supplied by the Paulínia/SP – Jacutinga pipeline. The main client of the multinational in Brazil is the brewery Ambev.
