INX International hosted an open house on February 27, welcoming invited guests to tour its new, state-of-the-art flexographic and gravure manufacturing facility in Cabreuva, Brazil. The event was attended by representatives from INX, its parent company Sakata INX, and local officials. The facility is situated in Sao Paulo, the same state where INX established a metal decorating plant for producing 2-piece inks, which launched in October 2018.
Bryce Kristo, INX President and CEO, attended and spoke at the event that “We are very excited about expanding our presence in South America once again,” he said. “The Sao Paulo region is a large economic hub that allows us to service the Brazilian market and extend ourselves throughout the country. We are in the beginning stages of developing a campus environment that will be our flagship location in South America.”
Construction of the 65,000-square-foot facility began in mid-2023 as the initial phase of a larger master plan complex. Cabreuva, a rapidly growing city with a population of over 50,000, is located just 25 miles from INX’s metal decorating plant in Itatiba. Guilherme Ribeiro, INX Vice President of South American Operations, remains optimistic about the facility’s future.
“Our business is poised to play a significant role in the growth and development of this city. Cabreuva stands to benefit greatly from the prosperity we aim to bring, and the mayor is thrilled about this opportunity. We’ve already received a substantial number of job applications from local residents,” he acknowledged.
Ribeiro said the facility sits on 20 acres of land and includes a separate 8,000 square-foot space housing INX’s Latin American Corporate office.
“This manufacturing facility was built with advanced milling and dispersion equipment, and full laboratory capabilities. When it becomes fully operational, we expect to have 150 employees and anticipate producing 2,000 tons of product per month to supply the South American region,” said Ribeiro.
“It will supply solvent-based ink across Brazil and to a significant portion of South America. This facility is central to our strategy of delivering the highest quality products to the market, and it will substantially enhance the caliber of our services.”
Ribeiro was pleased with the event’s festivities and indicated a customer open house is being planned for the last week of March.
“The market is highly enthusiastic about our new plant. Customers are excited to benefit from the newest and best facility on the continent, and our partners are equally pleased. This campus has enough space for future expansion to support our digital, metal decorating, water-based and other product lines.”
