ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET
The management of BRF - Brasil Foods S.A. announces its decision to build a margarine plant in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão in the state of Pernambuco. Forecasted investments amount to R$ 140 million and the new plant will have a capacity of 8 thousand tons/month. The unit will occupy a site of 38 thousand square meters in the industrial complex operated by the company in Vitória de Santo Antão, 50 kilometers from Recife, and responsible for the production of industrialized meats.
The project is designed to meet the significant and growing demand in the region with gains in the cost of production and distribution and permitting the company to offer products at competitive prices. Work at the site is expected to begin in January 2012 and startup in operations in January 2013. When operating at full capacity, the plant is expected to create 150 direct and 350 indirect jobs. The company estimates that the unit will be generating annual sales of R$ 450 million by 2015.
