Brazilian dairy firm Grupo Piracanjuba has announced the acquisition of Santa Barbara Industria e Comercio de Bens e Laticinios (Natulact), a dairy company from Brazil’s North East region.
According to sources, the acquisition marks Piracanjuba’s debut in the North East, as the company seeks to expand its reach and competitiveness.
Initially, cheese will continue to be produced at the factory under the Natulact name, with the Piracanjuba brand being slowly introduced over time.
The company’s goal is to maintain the factory’s 260 workers and existing milk suppliers, according to reports.
The new facility will be the company’s eighth, with the existing seven located in the Central-West, South and Southeast regions of the country.
