The new factory will share location with the current productive complex that has Volvo CE in Pederneiras, but will act of separate form and only for the production of equipment SDLG. The works of construction already have initiated and when they are finished, around the middle of 2013, will allow the manufacture of four models of excavators of chains. These versions will be the LG6150And, LG6110And, LG6225And and LG6250And, in a rank of operative weights of 13,8 to 24,3 tonnes. The productive capacity of the new factory for the first year will be of 120 units.
