NOTICE TO THE MARKET |
Sadia inaugurates its Ponta Grossa Logistics Center |
Sadia inaugurated today, March 4, 2005, its Ponta Grossa Logistics Center. The Governor of the State of Paraná himself, Roberto Requião, was on hand for the opening of this, one of the most advanced centers of its kind in Brazil. Investments in the center totaled R$ 30 million, with construction completed in around 18 months. The Center began operating in November, and despite being entirely automated, has generated 110 jobs, adding to the 13,900 existing Sadia employees in Paraná. The Logistics Center occupies an area of 8,000 square meters and has the capacity to store 11,000 pallets or 10,000 tons of products. With its twelve docks, it is possible to load five containers and seven trucks simultaneously. Designed to store products for export, the project is in line with the strategy of the State of Paraná, which is also focusing its attention on the international market. The construction of the Logistics Center is in line with Sadia’s strategy to serve its 200 international customers, spread throughout 100 countries, evermore quickly and reliably. |
