JBS reopens unit in Juara and will reach 2,000 new jobs
JBS, one of the largest food companies in the world, recently resumed the activities of the Friboi industrial unit located in the city of Juara (MT). The reopening of the unit will be responsible for the generation of 350 jobs. The number adds to the 1,450 new jobs that will be generated with the recovery of the Diamantino (MT) unit and the 210 vacancies that were opened by the Confresa (MT) unit in the last week. With all this, the Company's forecast is to generate around 2,000 new jobs in Mato Grosso by the end of 2023.
The unit will start operations in a staggered manner, with the processing of 300 heads at first, with a forecast of gradual expansion until it reaches its maximum capacity. The plant has a processing capacity of 700 heads and has a logistical position that guarantees access to important producing regions. In addition, it is well located to supply domestic demand and has qualifications to serve important markets abroad.
"The reopening of our plant in Juara is another proof of Friboi's commitment as our suppliers from the region and as a state of Mato Grosso. With this movement, we will guarantee adequate local production capacity, as well as strengthen our relevance condition for the generation of employment and rent in our state", highlights Renato Costa, President of Friboi.
The investment for the resumption of the Juara (MT) unit complements the announcement made by the company at the end of June, with the relevant contribution for the recovery and modernization of the Diamantino (MT) unit, which will be the largest Friboi unit in the country. “It is yet another proof of how the region is strategic for Friboi and of our willingness to continue contributing to local economic development", emphasizes Renato.
Currently, JBS is responsible for generating more than 9,500 direct jobs in Mato Grosso. When all the announced investments are materialized and the renovation of the Diamantino unit is completed, the expectation is that this number will increase to around 11,500 direct jobs generated by JBS in the state.
In recent days, the company has already held test events and meetings in the region, with all newly hired employees, with the aim of making the fine adjustments for the resumption of operations at the Juara unit . They start work right away. Friboi has also already negotiated the first scales with producers in the region, to receive animals in this first week of resumption of activities.
