Technical Upgrades Increase Production for Brazilian Exporter

When Thor Granitos — now the largest industrial exporter of processed granites in Latin America — first opened its factory doors in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1986, a relatively small staff was employed to handle the daily operations of its 490,000-square-foot facility.

Thor Granitos recently opened a brand new factory in Barra de São Francisco, Espirito Santo — more than 12 hours north of its original Rio facility — in order to be more cost-effective and better serve its universal market.

The company’s new facility spans more than 1.1 million square feet.
