De Heus Brazil unveiled its largest plant in Itaberaí, Goiás. The plant specializes in feed and supplements for ruminants with production management systems, and an automated process ensuring production safety.
De Heus Brazil officially inaugurated its largest plant in Itaberaí, Goiás in early May. The newly opened plant will significantly increase the company’s production capacity in the state from 40,000 to 180,000 tonnes per year.
The addition of the new plant in Itaberaí is a significant milestone for De Heus Brazil. Currently, De Heus has six plants in Brazil, alongside an administrative unit and a distribution center. The Ruminant Business Manager mentioned, “In the future, with three production shifts and depending on the product type, this plant will reach an annual production of 180,000 tons.” He added, “Our challenge now is to quadruple sales volumes from this plant in the coming years.”
The selection of Itaberaí as the location for the new feed factory is strategic due to its favorable geographic position and advantageous market conditions. It distinguishes itself by providing technical support to customers during product sales. Ademir Maciel, Ruminants Business Manager of De Heus, highlighted, “Our aim is to provide the best guidance to customers, enabling them to achieve optimal productivity with the best cost-benefit ratio.”
