DCI
With the goal of increasing its presence in the global market, Mausa, manufacturer of capital goods made to order, inaugurated yesterday its new manufacturing plant in Piracicaba, interior of São Paulo. The industry, which belongs to the Dedini family members and catered mainly the sugar and alcohol sector, begins manufacturing large size machine tools, used in mechanical manufacturing industry.
The new facilities began being built in 2008, in the period of the global economic crisis. The idea was to move the industry from downtown Piracicaba to a larger area. "We assessed it was better to move forward with the investment because we believed the turbulence would pass", says the Commercial Manager of Mausa, Egon Scheiber. The company invested R$ 65 million (US$ 38.2 million) in 172 thousand square meters of total area and R$ 25 million (US$ 14.7 million) in machines and machining centers to increase the productive capacity of the plant in 30%. "The new unit represents a breakthrough", said the President of Mausa, Roberto Dedini. The company has also entered into an agreement with the Italian Colgar to nationalize the production of boring mills and milling machines intended to cater to the sectors of oil, wind power, rail, port and mining in developing countries.
