The Austrian Bauer Group has built a modern factory for the production of irrigation systems 200 kilometers north of Sao Paulo. The global company from Voitsberg, Styria, has already been active in Brazil for 20 years, and the new location of Sao Joao da Boa Vista with 37,000 square meters will produce Pivot systems for the irrigation of 14,000 ha/year as well as Rainstar drum irrigation systems for 5,000 ha/year.
In order to meet the ever growing demand for irrigation systems in Brazil, a new production site was built in Sao Jao da Boa Vista. Starting immediately, Pivot systems for the irrigation of a total area of 14,000 ha/ year as well as Rainstar drum irrigation systems for 5,000 ha/year will be produced here. Already 20 years ago, Bauer put a small production unit into operation in southern Brazil for Pivots and drum machines. With the new manufacturing plant in Sao Joa da Boa Vista, the Styrian company has now laid the foundation for the comprehensive supply of modern irrigation systems in Brazil.
The 37,000 m2 production site is designed to allow for a doubling of the output at short notice. Plans also exist for producing equipment for the waste water sector (separation, pumping / stirring technology) in a subsequent expansion stage. For the time being, these products will still be imported from Austria. Bauer expects this production site to also provide exports to the neighboring countries of the Mercosur region.
