JBS

Zempack, a JBS subsidiary and one of Brazil's largest metal packaging manufacturers, has invested over R$350 million since 2015 in modernizing its plants in Lins and Guaiçara, São Paulo, focusing on automation and efficiency. The company has doubled production in ten years and now has capacity for over 1 billion units per year.

JBS will invest R$70 million in its metal packaging unit Zempack, raising output at the Lins plant by 180% for food packaging and at the Guaiçara plant for aerosol cans by 25%. The investment funds new production line machinery, with Lins capacity increase due by November 2024.

JBS will invest about 100 million reais in building a metal packaging factory and modernising its Lins unit in Sao Paulo state, with about 80 million reais going to the new plant that will make steel and aluminium cans. Operation is planned for the first half of 2020.
