The 90,000-square-foot plant employs 300 local workers and has an annual production capacity of 150,000 square meters. It uses sustainably sourced Brazilian pine and maple, reducing transportation costs and carbon emissions by 50% compared to importing from Asia. The plant will produce Limei’s full product line, including the ClimateGuard Series for Brazil’s tropical climate and the SchoolFit Series for the country’s public education system.
To mark the opening, Limei donated 8,000 square meters of flooring to 12 public schools in São Paulo, upgrading their gymnasiums. The brand also signed a partnership with the Brazilian Basketball Confederation to supply flooring for 20 regional training centers. “The São Paulo plant is a strategic step in our South American growth,” said Mr. Rodrigo Silva, Limei’s South America CEO. “It allows us to deliver localized solutions and support the region’s sports development goals.”
Limei’s South American sales are projected to grow by 70% by 2029, driven by the new plant and partnerships with regional sports federations.
