ICC Brazil opens new factory unit

ICC Brazilinaugurated its new factory unit in Jundiaí, São Paulo on April 22.

The space features a warehouse of more than 16,000 square metres and a storage capacity for 12,000 tonnes of yeast and a strategic geographical location close to the city of Campinas and major highways.

Glycon Santos, ICC Brazil's CEO, points out that this is the most significant investment the company has made. "The Jundiaí site will complete our structure. We already have the administration in São Paulo and the plant and warehouse responsible for mixing, receiving, and sending products to customers in the Macatuba countryside. We are expanding and making a commitment to continue producing quality products that contribute to animal nutrition more quickly and efficiently," says Santos.

"This is ICC's most ambitious and significant project to date and will be divided into two phases. Today we are inaugurating the first phase, the distribution centre (receiving, storing, treating, and sending loads), with a static capacity of 12,000 tonnes of products and a relative movement of 100 tonnes/day. The second stage, scheduled to launch in January 2021, will be a new additive factory with a production capacity projected at 60 tonnes/day," says Ilma Andrade, ICC Brazil's supply chain director.
