In tune with its objective of expanding to offer better services and products to its customers, Ajover-Darnel has made a substantial investment to build a new 200,000 square meters factory in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil.
This new plant will complement our packaging products factory in Curitiba, which was acquired in 2012, and the already existing distribution centers located in Porto Alegre, Londrina, Belo Horizonte, and Goiânia.
Our investment in Brazil provides a platform to meet the growing demand for plastic products in the region, particularly heat-resistant plastic film solutions, and plastic packaging and containers for the food industry, including trays, boxes, and tableware.
So far, our Brazil operations have created 300 direct and indirect jobs, and our new investment will create 500 additional jobs in the next five years.
