Stellantis: a mega investment and a new future for Betim?
Stellantis is scheduled to hold a press conference on May 20 to announce big news for the plant in Betim, Brazil. At least three major announcements will be made at the press conference, which will be followed by an official ceremony. The President of Stellantis América do Sul, Emanuele Cappellano, and the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, will be present.
Rumors, from sources inside the MDIC (Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services), speak of an investment of as much as R$454 million. A tangible sign of Stellantis’ commitment to strengthening its presence in Brazil and contributing to the region’s economic and social development. In addition to the large investment, there is also speculation that an FCA engine plant will be relocated from another country within the Betim plant.
