Marelli Aftermarket, Hedge Investments and Porto Seco Sul de Minas hold a launch event at the Citlog condominium
The Aftermarket Division of the MARELLI Group announces the launch event of the Fundamental Stone of its new operation, in the city of Varginha, in the south of Minas Gerais, which will take place on June 21, 2022. The company will occupy about 25% of the 83,000 m² shed that is being built in the Citlog condominium in partnership with Hedge Investments and Porto Seco Sul de Minas, with support from the state government, through InvestMinas and the municipal government.
The three companies are investing around R$ 300 million, which should reach higher figures when the warehouse is fully occupied. Thanks to the project, it is estimated that thousands of direct and indirect jobs will be generated during the construction period and, later, after the start of industrial and logistical operations. In addition to generating new jobs, the company revenues, estimated at billions of reais, will strongly contribute to the collection of taxes for the city and, consequently, for the state and the country.
Varginha was chosen due to its geographic location, in the south of Minas – equidistant (about 300 km) from the three largest capitals in Brazil (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte) – and for the modern infrastructure of the Citlog condominium. The city also offers an excellent education and health structure, which provides a high level of quality of life for company employees. It is worth noting that the Varginha micro-region has about 800,000 inhabitants within a radius of 60 km, which facilitates the hiring and training of manpower.
Mayor Vérdi Lucio Melo celebrates this achievement for Varginha.
The arrival of the Marelli group to Varginha further strengthens our industrial hub, brings new technologies and the generation of jobs and income. Varginha welcomes this great venture with open arms and thanks the company Porto Seco Sul de Minas and Hedge Investments for this successful partnership”

Se o significado for as cidades do interior deixa do jeito que está, agora se for o significado literal de interior do Brasil mesmo tira “inland cities” e põe “interior”)
