The plant, which stopped operations in 2004, will produce powdered milk in the first phase of operations and condensed milk in the future. Its production will reach 200,000 litres of milk per day.
Parmalat operated the plant for seven years and after that sold it to the food producer Alimentos Rio Grande. Two years later, the plant stopped operations due to liabilities inherited by Parmalat Brasil.
