In case some one missed it yesterday. Fez ____________________ Dell set to open first plant in Latin America By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com August 28, 1999, 12:50 p.m. PT Dell Computer will start production at a Brazilian plant in November, investing $66 million in a bid to boost sales and market share in Brazil and four nearby countries. Dell, the leading direct seller of personal computers, said it will start production in a temporary factory in Eldorado, in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. The company plans to move to a permanent plant in Alvorada, also in the southern state, where it expects to start production in the beginning of next year. It's the first plant for Dell in Latin America “Production will start with desktop products, then as we move to the permanent line, we will produce servers as well, maybe notebooks," said a Dell spokeswoman. "It will depend on the demand for the different products." Dell's move comes as shipments of personal computers in Latin America surged 19 percent in the second quarter of 1999, over the same period a year earlier, to 840,081 units, according to research firm Dataquest. Brazil was the top destination with about 36 percent of all orders, even as the economy is mired in recession. Dell said the 123-acre plant in Alvorada, on the outskirts of Porto Alegre, will create about 250 jobs over two years. The company will use parts from local suppliers and from companies outside Brazil. The plant will also produce computers for Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Dell's Chairman and chief executive Michael Dell will come to Brazil for the plant opening, the company said.
