The communication office of the governor of the State of North Carolina, Mr. Roy Cooper, officially makes public the agreement by which Briolf Group and the local administrations, both the State of North Carolina and the City of Monroe (Union County), confirms their understanding to start a project. This project aims to establish the first productive investment in the United States of the company based in Girona (Spain). Briolf Group specializes in the manufacture and sale of coatings and adhesives.
Over $30 Mn Total Investment
Located in the city of Monroe, the investment includes the acquisition of a 130,000 m
2 site. Over the next few years, this site will be developed into Briolf Campus, which will accommodate production facilities for the Group's various business lines.
The project is planned in multiple phases, initially involving the construction of a factory to locally produce Roberlo products. It is one of the companies of the group with global recognition in the car refinishing and industrial coating sector. Subsequently, production capacities and resources will be gradually expanded to locally manufacture products from the aerosol and adhesive divisions.
The company expects the project to take a minimum of 2 years to start production. It will involve a total investment of more than 30 million dollars.
The president of Briolf Group, Mr. Jaume Juher, said, “
This is a historic event for us, both qualitatively and quantitatively.” According to the company, the investment was foreseen as one of the most important elements of the 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and highlights the significant weight it will have in the company's future.
"
Having a production center in the U.S. allows us to directly serve the current important market in the North American region. And at the same time, it positions us better to face the many opportunities for growth that the North American market offers us."
“
This has been a very long road since the first commercial activities with the U.S. began in the 90's. Years of hard work, difficulties and some mistakes from which we have learned a lot. But as always in the history of Briolf Group, the success of many people has made the journey worthwhile, and we are now facing a unique challenge."
