J.Macedo, the Brazilian food manufacturer, has officially opened its new industrial complex in Horizonte, Ceara. The project represents a total investment of R$ 300$ million ($60 million), according to the company.
The new facility is intended to streamline production and distribution across the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. Named the Roberto Proenca de Macedo Industrial Park, the complex includes specialised units for the production of pasta and cake mixes, with a reported capacity of 100,000 tonnes of pasta per year.
This development follows J.Macedo’s previous expansion of its milling capacity in the region, which supports the Horizonte site’s operations.
Irineu Pedrollo, CEO of J.Macedo, commented: “The project adopts the best environmental management practices, applied from construction to operation. With a focus on energy efficiency and the rational use of water, the unit consolidates itself as a form of clean industry, with a goal of zero waste destined for landfill”.
According to the company, the facility is described as the most modern pasta industry in the Americas, designed to enhance efficiency and product quality while supporting regional economic growth.
