DXN Holdings Bhd has committed at least BRL100 million (RM77.85 million) over five years to develop a new manufacturing facility in Ibiá, Brazil, with completion targeted for September 2029 and production expected to begin by end-2029.
The facility, being built on a 100,745 sq m site provided by the Municipality of Ibiá under a conditional land donation arrangement, is set to become DXN’s largest manufacturing presence in Latin America and serve as a key hub for the wider region.
Latin America contributed 61.2% of DXN’s FY26 revenue, or RM1.2 billion, supported by about 4.8 million captive consumers as at July 31, 2026.
Group Chief Executive Officer Prajith Pavithran said greater localisation would allow DXN to shorten supply routes, improve product availability and respond faster to regional demand.
The Brazil plant will source materials from DXN’s own agricultural operations and local suppliers, including Arabica coffee beans from its 385-acre plantation in Ibiá, reinforcing the group’s vertically integrated model.
The project forms part of DXN’s RM500 million capital expenditure programme to expand manufacturing capacity across multiple markets. The group already operates two facilities in Mexico and has also broken ground on new plants in Peru and Bolivia.
