“Another great investment that will generate employment and income in Minas Gerais. The French group Verallia will invest around R$ 400 million in the assembly of a new glass bottle oven at the unit in Jacutinga. During the works alone, around 1 people will be employed.

Since the beginning of our administration, we have already attracted around R$ 95 billion to Minas and we continue to adopt measures to create an even better environment for those who want to invest and work here”, said Governor Romeu Zema.

With the investment, the company expects to more than double the production capacity of the mining plant, from 1,2 million bottles to 2,5 million, daily, starting in 2023, when the new oven will operate at full capacity.

Operation in MG

To install the company in the state, Verallia invested, at the time, € 77 million euros (approximately R$ 300 million), in what was the first operation of the type in Minas Gerais territory.

The plant is one of the most modern in the world, with state-of-the-art technology and great zeal for sustainability issues, counting, for example, with systems for the treatment of atmospheric emissions and effluents.
