In a momentous meeting at the Stellantis Automotive Pole in Goiana, Pernambuco, Emanuele Cappellano, President of Stellantis for South America, welcomed Governor Raquel Lyra to announce a colossal investment of R$ 13 billion (approximately $2.53 billion) from 2025 to 2030. This substantial contribution underscores Stellantis’ unwavering commitment to the state and highlights the strategic significance of the Goiana Automotive Pole for regional and national development.

Reflecting on the nine-year journey since the establishment of operations in April 2015, Cappellano emphasized Stellantis’ desire to leave a lasting impact on Pernambuco’s development trajectory. He remarked, “Since we started operations at the Stellantis Automotive Pole in Goiana, we wanted to leave a legacy and be part of the development trajectory of Pernambuco. Now, nine years later, we are again making history by announcing another cycle of investments of R$ 13 billion in the Pole.”

During the visit, Governor Lyra toured the assembly line and the supplier park alongside Cappellano, celebrating the remarkable achievements of the past nine years. These accomplishments include the production of over 1.5 million vehicles, the export of more than 250,000 units, and the launch and production of five models across three brands, including Jeep® Renegade, Compass, and Commander, as well as Fiat Toro and Ram Rampage pickup trucks. Moreover, the Goiana Pole has generated over 60,000 direct and indirect jobs and attracted more than 38 suppliers, further enhancing its economic footprint.

The new investment cycle reaffirms Stellantis’ commitment to Brazil, with a total investment of R$ 30 billion ($5.86 billion) from 2025 to 2030, marking the largest investment cycle in the history of the automotive industry in Brazil and South America. Of this total, R$ 13 billion will be directed to the Automotive Pole of Goiana, focusing on the launch of new products, expanding the supply chain, and developing innovative technologies to accelerate the decarbonization of mobility.

Cappellano emphasized the broader positive impacts of these investments, stating, “The contribution will also bring positive impacts on the entire environment, generating jobs, stimulating industry, commerce, services, education, and quality of life throughout the region, and bringing new perspectives for the future to people.”
