Brazilian dairy firm Tirolez has announced the opening of a new manufacturing plant in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
According to sources, the company invested R$150 million ($30.1 million) in the manufacturing unit in Caxambu do Sul, with the aim of expanding production capacity and strengthening its product portfolio.
The unit will have the capacity to process up to 1.2 million litres of milk per day and increase production of mozzarella to 6,000 tons per month. In addition, the facility will produce other varieties of cheese that are already part of the company’s portfolio.
The Santa Catarina plant, Tirolez’s fifth, is described as a strategic move to support the company’s growth in the south of Brazil, as well as driving quality and efficiency improvements.
