Moro and Elizabeth strengthen dialogue with investors to attract investments to Ponta Grossa and boost the 8X Industrial Park

The search for new investments and the strengthening of relations between public power and private initiative marked the visit of the elected governor of Paraná, Sergio Moro, and the mayor of Ponta Grossa, Elizabeth Schmidt, to the Industrial Park 8X, on Thursday (12). The focus of the meeting was to strengthen the dialogue with national and international investors, creating conditions for the implementation of new ventures and the expansion of job generation in the municipality.

During the agenda, representatives of the Sailun Group, XBRI Pneus and the management of the 8X Industrial Park presented the economic potential of the complex, which is under development on the banks of BR-376, in Ponta Grossa.

The approach between investors, the City Hall and the future state administration is considered important for the advancement of negotiations and for the consolidation of large industrial projects in the Campos Gerais region.

Joint seeks to strengthen new investments in Ponta Grossa

The visit opened space for dialogue on infrastructure, logistics, business opportunities and integration between municipal and state governments.

The objective is to strengthen the relações institucionais with the business groups involved and contribute to Ponta Grossa continuing to attract investments capable of boosting its economic development.

The 8X Industrial Park has more than 11.6 million square meters and was planned to host companies from different sectors, especially those related to the automotive chain.

Among the projects presented is a tire factory with a planned capacity of up to 15 million units per year. The estimate is 1,300 direct jobs in the first phase, and can reach 3,5000 jobs with full operation.

Industrial complex has the potential to move billions

The projections point to the possibility of billions of reais in industrial investments, considering the deployment of the tire factory and the future installation of supplier companies and other segments.

The strategic location of the development, close to the BR-376, the regional railway network and the logistics corridors that lead to the Port of Paranaguá, is presented as one of the main attractions for investors.

The planning also provides for the possibility of the implementation of a dry port, a structure that can facilitate foreign trade operations, depending on the necessary federal authorizations.

Investor Relationships May Open Up New Opportunities

More than knowing the structure of the enterprise, the visit of Moro and Elizabeth reinforced the importance of the articulation between the different levels of government and the productive sector to transform projects into effective investments.

The expectation is that the strengthening of these relations will contribute to the advancement of negotiations, the attraction of new companies and the expansion of employment and income opportunities.

Although the complex presents high economic potential, the investments and the generation of projected jobs still depend on the consolidation of the partnerships and the progress of the implementation stages.

For Ponta Grossa, the approach with large industrial groups represents another opportunity to strengthen its position as Paraná’s economic, industrial and logistics development hub.
