Polo is looking for new business

Objective is to attract transformation industries

Polo industries have strategic advantages, with the logistics network and hydroelectric and thermoelectric plants

With the boost of the country’s economic indicators, Cubatão’s Polo intends to take advantage of its strategic advantages to attract new businesses this year.

According to the executive director of the Center for Integration and Development (Cide) and head of the Cubatão regional of the Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Ciesp), Valdir José Caobianco, the polo concentrates companies of the most representative segments and has a back- “Great interface” with the Port of Santos.

“We have the potential to grow even more and therefore be more competitive to compete with the external market”, he says.

To attract business, the industry entities, in partnership with the City Hall, launched last year the project Cubatão – The Factory of Opportunities.

The program consists of the work of the Industrial Condominium in the search for transformation industries for Cubatão. The representatives of Cide and Ciesp have already visited foreign chambers of commerce installed in Brazil to publicize the potential of the Polo.

The expectation is that these first contacts foster the installation of multinational units.

The pole has the trump of producing through five major industrial sectors: petrochemical, steel, chemical, fertilizers and logistics, as well as energy production and services.

 

Combustible

There are products consumed in the country that are made only in Cubatão, such as gasoline aviation, the use in airports and agribusiness aircraft. There are also calcined coke, ammonium nitrate (fertilizers) and anhydrous soda and benzene, the latter for the lubricants sector.

Caobianco points out that the pole still has room to receive new industries – there are 2.5 million square meters available.

The industrial condominium points out 11 reasons for a company to settle in Cubatão. For example, there is abundant power grid, with Henry Borden hydroelectric power plant and thermoelectric, and water.

In addition, there is a strategic location with a logistics network in the surroundings (port, railroad, highway and airports), many universities and diversified courses, connection with the largest consumer market in the country, and an already consolidated environmental sustainability program.

“We are convinced that the city is one of the strategic points for the resumption of the country’s growth”, concludes Caobianco.

 

More efficiency and less costs in Cubatão

The industrial condominium is an initiative of the Center for Integration and Development (Cide). The objective is to integrate the management of the Cubatão’s pole to, among several fronts, reduce costs in services and equipment common to all companies.

They are transportation, health and safety processes. With integrated and efficient operations, the pole will be able to maximize its advantages and fight its bottlenecks, gaining more competitiveness and attracting new business.

Cide brings together the presidents of the polo industries. The proposal for the creation of the condominium was created during the meeting of the industrial leaders at the Union of Chemical Industries for Industrial Purposes and Petroquimic in the State of São Paulo (Sinproquim).

In the event of the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim), last year, the condominium launched the Cubatão – The Factory of Opportunities program.

This year, the idea of ​​the industrial leaders is to take advantage of the improvement of the economy, with increased confidence of the business, to attract manufacturing industries to Cubatão.

“It is time to take advantage of this phase and show that Cubatão is ready to receive new ventures”, says the director of Cide and Ciesp-Cubatão, Valdir Caobianco.

 

Labor

13 thousand jobs were maintained by Cubatão’s Pole companies in 2017;

123 million dollars in social charges were paid by the Cubatão Pole industries last year;

23 percent of Cubatão’s Pole jobs were maintained by the fertilizer sector in 2017.

 

Interview

Valdir José Caobianco – Executive Director of Cide and titular director of Ciesp de Cubatão

 The improvement in economic indicators and the new government generated an expectation of more business in Cubatão. Check out the interview with the director of the entities, Cide and Ciesp, who present the polo industries, Valdir Caobianco.

 

What is the expectation of investments in the Polo in 2019? 

The Center for Integration and Development (Cide), with the support of the Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Ciesp) – Cubatão Regional and City Hall, is promoting the program Cubatão – The Factory of Opportunities. The initiative aims to attract manufacturing industries to the largest industrial pole in Latin America in the raw material segment, which has infrastructure and fiscal incentives from the public power. With the installation of new industries, consequently, opportunities for employment and development of local commerce are generated.

 

What can the new government do to the competitiveness of companies?

 The polo companies are competitive and work with the maximum results in conditions to compete with the outside, but they coexist with excessive interest, high energy and input costs, as well as the high tax burden. It still competes unevenly with the constant entry of imported products without logistical barriers and, in some cases, still with subsidized prices at the origin.

 

The new government is against incentives and exemptions. Is the polo industry ready to face an open market?

 We have the potential to grow even more and consequently to be more competitive to compete with the foreign market. With the new government we will continue to act firmly through dialogue in all forums that Cide is present in the search for sustainable advances.

Polo guarantees environmental control actions

Cubatão is an example of recovery of the Environment, as a result of the investments of the industries in the modernization of equipment

Recognized by the United Nations, Cubatão is the proof that the union of efforts can give good results; red guaras are symbol of the recovered city

Cubatão is an example of environmental recovery, a result of the partnership between public power and private initiative, with investments by the Polo industries in the modernization of equipment to control sources of pollution and in environmental programs.

There are several environmental control actions carried out through the execution of programs and monitoring of emissions, management of waste reuse, rational use of energy and water resources, maintenance of control systems and implementation of environmental improvements.

Among the works aimed at ensuring the quality of life of the population stands out the annual Winter Operation, carried out by the Center for Integration and Business Development of the Baixada Santista (Cide), in partnership as environmental agency, Ecovias, Military Police and City Hall.

The preventive action takes periodic campaigns of sweeping and cleaning of the external roads and highway of access to the Industrial Park and wetting to avoid the dust collection routine in the period from May to September, contributing to a better condition of air quality in the dry period.

Cide counts on the Technical Commission for the Protection and Defense of the Environment (Prodema) for the construction of joint actions focused on protection and defense of the environment, seeking to strengthen the adoption of sustainable environmental practices in the region, in line with Agenda 21 of the County. Participates in groups such as the Baixada Santista Basin Committee (CBH / BS), Cubatão Municipal Environment Council (Comdema), Contingency Plan for Serra do Mar.

Air quality management, in compliance with the Stationary Sources Emission Reduction Plan (Prefe), continues with the performance of the consolidated control plans of the Industrial Pole, supported by programs of operation and maintenance of the reductions obtained in compliance with the targets intermediaries.

According to Cetesb, in 2017, in the urban and residential area of ​​Cubatão, there was no violation of the air quality standard for any pollutant.

The sum of the environmental control actions of the Industrial Pole, combined with the most favorable weather conditions in recent years, contributed significantly to the reduction of average concentrations of pollutants in the industrial area.

 

Agenda 21 originated in 2005

Agenda 21 of Cubatão originated in 2005 in an initiative of Polo Industrial companies, represented by the Center of Integration and Development (Cide), Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Ciesp Cubatão), and Regional Action Department of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Depar-Fiesp). In order to contribute to the sustainable development of the Municipality, the industries met with the City Hall of Cubatão and the City Council to establish a partnership and to initiate the awareness and mobilization of the whole city in the creation of Agenda 21.

The process was participatory and democratic, involving leaders and communities, without discrimination of any kind. It was not characterized as a company, an administration, a political group or a social group. It was a project of the whole city.

At times like the current one, recovering from a crisis in the Municipality, State and Country, projects like Agenda 21 are valued, used as reference and source of consultation in the search for joint solutions to the challenges facing the city, such as the fall of the collection, the employability and the deindustrialization. For Cide, the country lives a moment in which it is the responsibility of society to charge for initiatives such as this to have continuity and, thus, to encourage the commitment to development in the City and Polo Industrial of Cubatão.

Steel Industry resumes growth

According to Instituto Aço Brasil, which brings together companies in the sector, domestic sales will increase 8.9% this year compared to 2017

Brazilian steel industry faced difficulties with China, which had overproduction and topped prices: domestic market pulls recovery

The Brazilian steel industry, after years of difficulties, should close 2018 with a more robust recovery. According to the Steel Brazil Institute, which represents companies in the sector, domestic sales will grow 8.9% compared to 2017, totaling 18.8 million tons.

In apparent consumption, an indicator that brings together domestic production plus imports minus imports, the expansion will be 8.2%, reaching 21.1 million tons.

The industry also increased production this year. The institute remembers that new mills are entering the market and Companhia Siderúrgica de Pecém, in Ceará, reached a full rhythm of operation.

Therefore, the expectation is that domestic crude steel production will reach 36 million tons in the year. Meanwhile, imports are expected to increase by 2.6% compared to 2017, totaling 2.4 million tonnes. Exports will fall 7.2%, with 14.2 million tonnes, according to the institute.

Despite positive numbers for 2018, when compared to 2017, projections of domestic sales and apparent consumption still remain below the levels reached in 2013.

For the institute, the truckers’ strike, which took place in May, made it harder to grow steel sales in the domestic market. Steel Brasil also points out that US President Donald Trump’s decision to restrict the US market to steel imports has triggered a protectionist escalation by other countries, hampering the growth of export volumes. The institute predicts an increase in domestic steel sales next year of 5.8%, totaling 20 million tons. Apparent steel consumption is expected to rise 6.2% in 2019 to 22.4 million tonnes.

 

New Government

Steel Brazil formed a business coalition with nine other entities, such as Abimaq (machines), Abinee (electronics), Abicalçados, Abiquim, Anfavea (vehicles), CBIC (construction) and Brazilian Foreign Trade Association (AEB).

According to the institute, the group has been talking to the government transition team, defending a fiscal pro-adjustment agenda, associated with the approval of the Social Security and tax reforms.

Also as priorities are the resumption of investments in construction and infrastructure and the promotion of exports.

Chemical sales up in October

Despite the advance, sector faces problems of competitiveness with external market

Polo Cubatão: in the Country, Abiquim points backward in the monthly comparison

Sales of chemical products increased 0.72% in the accumulated from January to October, according to the Brazilian Association of Chemical Industry (Abiquim). The result was not better because the indicator registered monthly declines in September and October, whose performance is not due only to a weak economy.

There have also been maintenance outages, which are common safety operations in the chemical industry, and fewer business days.

But in the comparisons of other indicators and in the month to month. The results were negative. This is the case of industrial chemical production, which fell 3.06% from January to October, compared to the same period last year, according to the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim).

Apparent national consumption (CAN), which measures production plus imports minus exports, fell by 2% in the same period. According to Abiquim, the result indicates a drop in the national demand for chemicals.

 

External Impact

In relation to domestic sales, which rose 0.72%, Abiquim says that there is an increase in the share produced in the national territory, in comparison with the imported one, under the influence of exchange rate volatility and international prices.

The average installed capacity utilization from January to October was 77%, which is lower than in the same period of 2017, when the utilization rate was 79%. The index measures the idleness of factory facilities, indicating that from 2017 to 2018 there was a reduction in activity, albeit small (from 79% to 77%

Abiquim’s Economy and Statistics Board, Fátima Giovanna Coviello Ferreira, says that the year was marked by the slowdown in the economy in the first few months, followed by the truck drivers’ strike, which slowed cargo handling in May, also reflecting in June.

 

Last month 

In October, compared to the previous month, the production index rose 3.08%. Compared with October last year, the drop in production was 6.7%. Domestic sales, however, fell by 5.05%, after falling by 8.12% in the two months.

“Although we still had a growth of 0.72% in domestic sales, this result could have been better, since until September the growth was 1.8%”, he says.

“The lowest activity in the last two months of analysis can be attributed to the pauses made in some units, the demand slowed in relation to the previous two months and, to a lesser extent, also by the lower number of working days, especially in relation to August”, says Fátima.

 

Low competitiveness 

The director warns that in the last 12 years production and sales volumes are, on average, the same as in 2007.

“Unfortunately we live another lost decade. The lack of competitiveness of the local producer, coupled with the economic recession and worsening of the national political crisis in the last three years, has brought strong impacts to the sector”, he says.

Polo seeks investment partnerships

Cubatão companies defend integration with public sector and social organizations to reduce barriers and divulge advantages

Cubatão Industries: polo consumes raw materials that will become inputs for the entire national economy

The entities that represent the Cubatão Industrial Complex consider the partnership with the public sector, especially the municipal entity, the best way to attract investments and maintain the technological renovation of the businesses installed in the City.

“Cide and Ciesp Cubatão believe in a legacy built through integration, where we see that the union between companies, society, public power and other bodies has made the Industrial Pole capable of maintaining its performance with excellence”, says the director of Center for Integration and Business Development of Baixada Santista (Cide), Valdir José Caobianco.

Caobianco also represents the Department of Regional Action (Depar) of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp) and the regional of Cubatão do Ciesp, forming the business entities active in the polo.

Cide and Ciesp launched the strategy of attracting business to the pole through the Opportunity Factory. The program was announced in March during a seminar at the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim) in São Paulo.

The Cubatao Industrial Industrial Estate has disclosed, in addition to the advantages of the Municipality, the more than 2.5 million square meters of areas available for investment.

 

Benefits

Among several advantages, the pole operates high quality raw materials in the petrochemical, chemical, logistic, steel and fertilizer segments supplied by large industries. In addition, there is an abundant network of water and energy through hydroelectric and thermoelectric power plants. Another highlight is logistics, with transportation network that connects directly to the Port of Santos and the Capital.

 In recent months, the Factory of Opportunities program has been brought to the chambers of commerce of China, Spain, Japan and France installed in Brazil. In the meetings, the representatives of the pole disclosed the local advantages to attract investments of multinationals of those countries.

Due to the recession of the 2015-2016 period and the country’s modest growth since last year, industries have operated and produced below their full capacity, recalls Ciesp and Cide.

“The efforts of Cide and Ciesp de Cubatão to promote synergy between industries, public power and other bodies have been of great importance in creating opportunities for the attraction of transformation industries and, consequently, generation of jobs”, says Caobianco.

 

Inputs

According to him, the pole is a national and international reference and concentrates the base industry – produces inputs such as fertilizer, chemical, petrochemical and steel that will be used throughout the economy.

Caobianco also cites the strategic location of the polo, with access to natural and technological resources, including water.

 

Integration

 “The partnership with municipal management results in the strengthening and endorsement of the local economy, where tax incentives are established for the new industries that intend to compose the industrial representation of Cubatão. The initiative is part of one of the actions planned in the strategic planning of Agenda 21”, Valdir José Caobianco – director of Cide-Ciesp and Depar / Fiesp.

 

Investment

Located in a strategic location, Valdir Caobianco points out that Cubatão’s Polo makes companies, especially those that transform raw materials into products, have all the natural and technological resources needed to grow in the Municipality. Plentiful water and energy, he says, ample logistical infrastructure with railroad, highway and waterway, strategic link between the country’s largest consumer market and the largest port in Latin America, large representation in national GDP and skilled labor make Cubatão a symbol of business and sustainable growth. “Together (polo and society) innovate and work to leverage the industry amid the challenges of the economy, being part of a new favorable moment in our country”.
