NOTICE TO THE MARKET |
Sadia to invest R$ 60 million in the construction of a margarine plant in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais |
Sadia announces that the city of Uberlândia has been chosen as the site of its second margarine and vegetable shortening plant -- the first of its kind in the state of Minas Gerais. The margarine plant represents an additional capital expenditure of R$ 60 million, on top of the R$ 185.3 million in investments announced last year for the municipality. Construction of the plant will begin immediately, in March 2005, with the commencement of operations planned for the second half of 2006. In the first phase of operations, the plant will generate 200 jobs. Furthermore, Sadia is forecasting a significant increase in demand for soy oil, which will benefit producers and crushers in the state of Minas Gerais. Sadia made its debut in the margarine market in November 1991, with the inauguration of its first plant, located in the municipality of Paranaguá, on the coast of the state of Paraná. At the time, investments in the plant totaled US$ 17 million. Sadia is the largest Brazilian producer of margarine and vegetable shortening. According to A.C. Nielsen, the Company’s Qualy brand currently leads the market in terms of sales volume and revenues. Sadia produces the following margarines and vegetable shortenings: Qualy, Qualy Fibra, Qualy Oliva, Qualy Light, Creme Vegetal Deline, Sadia Vita and Bom Sabor. |
