The project is 70% complete and, according to the company, the building will reach a maximum height of 17 m with a rainwater catchment area of 5,533 m2 for the site's water treatment plant.

The building will have a total area of 22,050 square meters and will be mainly for foundry, plating and machining, with the presence of 22 CNC equipment and 7 broaches at the moment, to reach a total of 172 CNC's and 38 broaches when the project is completed.
