A new plant has been opened by WIKA at its Boituva site in Brazil. This strengthens its subsidiary in the state of São Paulo as a strategic hub for the region. It is a state-of-the-art manufacturing and logistics facilities covering an area of around 12,500 square metres, approximately 8,000 of which are dedicated to production. These facilities are replacing the previous site in neighbouring Iperó, which no longer had sufficient space.
“The new plant in Boituva is a milestone for WIKA in many respects,” says Alexander Wiegand, Chairman and CEO of the WIKA Group. “On the one hand, it provides us with a modern facility in the region’s most economically important country, offering our staff an excellent working environment and providing scope for growth and production expansion. On the other hand, the plant symbolises the enormous progress that WIKA Brazil has made in recent years.”
This new facility enables the company to respond to the growing demand for high-quality measurement solutions in Brazil and neighbouring markets. The plant will boost the region’s production and logistics capacity and strengthen the links between the Latin American subsidiaries.
South America has been an important growth market for WIKA for many years. The Mercosur trade agreement between the EU and several Latin American countries has recently opened up new market opportunities. Since the foundation of WIKA Brazil in 1981, WIKA has firmly established itself in the region thanks to its strong teams and clear strategic focus. Today, the measurement technology manufacturer also has its own subsidiaries in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
