C.Vale has opened the largest fish processing facility in Brazil
The new factory, located in C.Vale’s industrial park in Palotina, western Parana, expands over 10,000 m2 and has an initial processing capacity of 75,000 tilapia per day, according to a press release.
C.Vale invested 110 million dollars in the slaughterhouse. Construction at the site started in December 2016.
According to the president of C.Vale, Alfredo Lang, the plant will be the largest in Brazil and the most modern in Latin America.
“Once we’re processing 75,000 tilapia per day, our next goal will be to reach 300,000 per day. We have a consolidated customer base who are waiting for our fish products both in the domestic and foreign market,” Mr. Lang said.
“In Brazil, C.Vale and Marel have shared a story together for more than two decades. C.Vale was one of the first cooperatives to install a Nuova evisceration line from Marel and they continue to rely on Marel solutions for their business. This new project is not just a watershed in the fish industry in Brazil, it also reiterates and strengthens the partnership between the companies,” says Francisco Leandro, General Manager of Marel in Brazil, who was also present at the inauguration ceremony.
