Dell to open plant in Brazil [Those DELL guys seem pretty smart...] news.com By Reuters Special to CNET NEWS.COM August 25, 1998, 10:25 a.m. PT Computer maker Dell will open a manufacturing and customer center in Alvorada, Brazil, that will employ more than 250 employees within two years, the company said today. Dell did not disclose the size of its investment, but InvestNews, a financial newswire owned by Brazil's leading financial newspaper Gazeta Mercantil, said the company planned to spend $108.9 million to build the plant, which will produce 250,000 personal computers annually. A Dell spokeswoman declined to comment on the report. Pending government approval, Dell said in a statement that it expects to manufacture its desktop computer systems for customers in the Mercosul region, which includes Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile, beginning next year.
