What is the Bertin project?
Bertin Ltda is the leading integrated beef and hide processor in Brazil, with slaughtering capacity of about 5,400 heads per day. Bertin’s lines of business include: beef processing, tanning and production of semi-finished and finished hides, hygiene and cleaning products, personal protective equipment, and dog toys (chewable bones). The project consists of a $90 million corporate investment that will allow Bertin to expand and modernize its existing facilities, including one acquired in 2005 in Marab in Brazil’s Amazon region. The company will also be able to build a new facility in Mato Grosso. The upgrades will increase Bertin’s capacity by 5,000 heads per day, as well as improve its environmental performance.
