Brazil: Schincariol is to invest 170 million reals (US$58.52 million) in the new plant in the municipality of Igrejinha, south Brazil. Around 250 direct and 2,500 indirect jobs will be created. Construction should be completed in 10 months, with production due to begin by the end of 2004. The new brewery will have an annual production capacity of 150 million litres of beer and 50 million litres of water, fruit juices and soft drinks.

“Igrejinha has been chosen primarily for its geographical position,” Jose Domingos Francischinelli, the Schincariol’s financial and planning director said to the Portugese News Digest. Francischinelli added that another reason for choosing Igrejinha was the trade block of Chile and the countries of Mercosur, to which part of the plant’s production will be exported.

The southern states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina account for 9% of the country’s beer consumption.
