Lactalis invests 313 million reais ($ 55.3 million) to extend its dairy production facilities in the state of Brazilian paraná.
The investment comes while the dairy giant whose dairy rate is in France marks a decade of operations in the country of South America, adding a press release provided to Just food That the infusion of capital aims to strengthen its “strong and responsible leadership in the country’s milk chain”.
Lactalis said that investment will finance a new UHT milk production chain in its Londrina facilities and, at the same time, will expand the Carambuí factory to increase the production of yogurts, fermented milk, dairy drinks and desserts.
The projects were formalized by agreements with the government of the State of Paraná on March 18, during a ceremony in Curitiba, Governor Ratinho Júnior and the CEO of Lactalis with Brasil, Roosevelt Junior, according to the press release.
According to the CEO of the dairy group, Lactalis has invested more than 710 million reais in Paraná in the last decade.
Besides Londrina and Carambéí, Lactalis operates a Pato Branco de Paraná factory. The installation of Carambéí is the most important, with 830 direct jobs, supported by 280 employees in Londrina and 36 in Pato Branco.
Just food Asked Lactalis to clarify if jobs will be created from the investment and reasons for its last cash injection to Brazil.
The latest investment follows a reais expansion plan of 250 million in Minas Gerais, announced in November to modernize and develop seven state factories.
