The facility will be built in phases and operations are scheduled to begin in 2017. The facility will be modelled after SEB's main facility in Kuala Lumpur. All processes as well as manufacturing design will be in line with the Kuala Lumpur manufacturing centre.

The facility is situated in Taubaté in Southeastern Brazil. It is strategically located between the two most important Brazilian cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with good access to major ports and road networks.
