The Manaus Industrial Pole has seen significant growth through successive investment approvals. Initially, the Suframa Administration Council approved 25 projects totaling nearly R$ 400 million, expected to create 900 jobs in sectors like electronics and logistics. Senator Eduardo Braga noted that Tax Reform provided the “legal certainty” required to maintain the competitiveness of the Free Trade Zone of Manaus.

To further stimulate growth, Senator Braga proposed utilizing 8 million square meters of federal land near the Manaus airport and along federal highways to facilitate an estimated R$ 12 billion in investments. He also advocated for faster approval of Basic Productive Processes (PPBs) to prevent federal delays from hindering modernization.

Expanding on this momentum, the Amazonas State Development Council (Codam) recently approved 45 industrial projects totaling R$ 1.02 billion. These projects, encompassing new implementations and expansions, are projected to generate approximately 1,365 direct and indirect jobs over the next three years. Notable investments include TCL Semp, which is dedicating over R$ 580 million to diversify into smartphone and portable microcomputer production, and Grupo Multilaser, which is investing more than R$ 38 million for the production of liquid crystal devices for televisions and monitors. Other approved ventures include Zincofer Galvalume Steel Amazônia Ltda., focusing on iron and steel laminates.
