Objectives, activities and expected results:

This Granitos Galrão Norte 2020 aims to catapult Granitos Galrão Norte (GGN) as a benchmark company in the field of granite processing at international level.
In order to be able to produce more and better, increasing the diversity, quantity and quality that characterizes its current offer, a series of crucial investments have been identified to implement the company’s strategy.

These investments have the capacity to sustain an increase in the company’s export capacity, by increasing current markets and penetrating new ones, and after identifying the critical points in its production process that need intervention, it will also be possible to implement an almost unprecedented rationalization process.

In the first phase of the investment, the entire study and planning for the implementation of the factory layout will be carried out and all the necessary work will be done to install the new equipment and lines, in accordance with the established specifications. At the same time, various pieces of equipment will be purchased, including polishing machines, cranes, zorras and trestles, which are considered to be a series of linked investments.

The last phase will include a technical analysis of the processes implemented through continuous monitoring (through the new systems underway from an investment point of view) and occasional monitoring by a team that will have the task of systematically monitoring the results.

This project aims to increase the production of sheet metal, a highly tradable product with a great capacity to penetrate international markets. However, by applying new technologies and innovative knowledge to the production process, the project will be able to draw in other companies in the sector, making a decisive contribution to changing the production profile.

With the current investment project, GGN aims to address the weaknesses of its business by introducing innovative production and process technologies, as well as promoting job creation during the course of the project that can manage the new technologies and innovations introduced with the project intelligently.
The project presented is based above all on the company’s ability to incorporate innovation at an industrial level, namely process innovation, marketing innovation and organizational innovation.
