S&P Brasil Ventilação Ltda, a company of the Spanish group Soler & Palau dedicated to the production of ventilation and exhaust equipment, announced on Thursday, August 21, the construction of its second plant in Brazil. The unit will be located in Mogi das Cruzes, 60 km from the state capital, with an investment of R$ 1 million and the generation of 20 direct jobs.

The project is being assisted by Investe SP, the investment promotion agency associated with the Secretariat of Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation of the State of São Paulo. “The company has chosen a great city, with easy access to major highways of the state, to the Port of Santos and the capital of São Paulo. In addition, São Paulo has the largest commercial ventilation market in the country,” said the president of the agency, Luciano Almeida.

The new plant, which will be in front of the current Distribution Center of the company in Mogi das Cruzes, will produce fans and exhaust fans for industrial and commercial facilities. In addition, the plant will also be used as a new distribution center for imported items that are new in the market. The area leased by the company covers 2,700 square meters of built area.

“The opening of a branch with industrial plant in the state of São Paulo, in 2012, and its expansion already in 2014, demonstrate that the Soler & Palau Group has made the right decision to invest in the Brazilian market and the confidence we have in its potential for development and growth,” says the CEO of S&P in Brazil, Carlos Ehlers.

It is expected that the new plant will start operations in November 2014. The new plant in Mogi das Cruzes will receive parts and components for the assembly of products, which are intended for the national market of manufacturers of air conditioning devices and installers of ventilation systems. Centrifugal fans of low and medium pressure will be manufactured.

With the new plant, the former distribution center, which is located in front of the new project will be disabled. The 10 employees working at the location will be transferred to the new headquarters in São Paulo.
