BRANDT, a leading agricultural retailer and manufacturer of specialty agriculture fertilizers, has invested in a new and modern manufacturing plant in Brazil. The acquisition represents a multi-million investment. The 22 thousand m² factory is located on approximately 7 hectares (70 thousand m²) of land, in the metropolitan region of Londrina (PR). The site will ultimately house several assembly lines, finished product storage, a quality control lab and experimental station for research and development of new products. The factory is expected to be active in two years. The investment, according to President Wladimir Chaga, quadruples BRANDT’s production capacity in the country. The company will keep its factory in Olímpia (SP), which is strategically located for access to the Cerrado and the Port of Santos. This is a huge leap forward for BRANDT in Brasil”, said Rick Brandt, CEO & President of BRANDT. “Our goal is to move as much production for the Brazilian market to local plants,” he said.
