To make the resumption possible, the company invested more than R$ 60 million at the plant, which underwent technical and operational adjustments. According to the company, the expectation is to expand whey production by 15% by 2029Based on the existing infrastructure in the industrial complex, the Carazinho unit was previously part of Nestlé's industrial park. In 2010, the site produced various types of dairy products, in addition to whey. In 2020, the company sold its dairy products operation as part of a strategy focused on higher value-added items. At that time, there was also a temporary licensing agreement for the Ninho and Molico brands for the production of UHT milk.
