THE METAL MECHANICAL INDUSTRY SECTOR IN PARANÁ
The current configuration of the world’s industrial structure gives the metal mechanical and electronics industry
a strategic position in the path of economic growth of countries and regions, as it operates in the generation and
diffusion of new technologies to other industrial sectors.
In Brazil, the metal mechanical and eletronics sector recorded a negative performance against the global
economic crisis that began in 2008. Part of this result can be attributed to the capital goods sector, strongly influenced
by the reduction in investments of economic agents. The drop in demand was seen both domestically and in foreign
markets, the latter accounts for about 20% of the sector’s revenues.
The metal mechanical sector is comprised of a wide range of activities related to processing of metals and
therefore is also know as Macro Metal Mechanical Complex. The complex offers a broad and diverse set of industries
whose main characteristic is the fact that the main component of the goods (and services) produced contemplate
technologies based on knowledge and techniques related to the production, processing and use of metals, especially
iron, aluminum and steel, among other metal alloys.
5
In Brazil, the Macro Metal Mechanical Complex consists of 96.35% of Micro and Small Enterprises, 3.16% for
Medium and Large Enterprises represent 0.49%. The Paraná is below the national average, representing 97.81% for
Micro and Small Enterprises, 1,90% for Medium and 0.28% for large companies in the same sector.
In Figure 2 below you can check the flow chart of the production chain of mechanical metal complex:

In Paraná, the sector ranks 2nd in number of employees (13.32%) among all sectors of the Paraná processing
industry. The main industries in the sector are concentrated in metropolitan region of Curitiba and upstate. They are
characterized the cities of Curitiba, Maringa and Londrina as the cities with the highest number of factories in the state.
However, other regions have begun to be explored by the industry and have great potential. With respect to spatial
distribution, stand out as major cities Curitiba and RMC (with 2281 units and 3143 formal jobs) and Londrina, Maringa

Market
The location of Paraná is favorable both to
explore business opportunities with the internal market,
and to the international. In addition to the listed
infrastructure advantages, the proximity to strategic
regions is a beneficiary factor.
As an example, the state borders São Paulo, 1st
place in the share of national GDP, Santa Catarina 6th
For the vice-president of Electrolux operations, several
positive factors have led to Electrolux to choose the
city of Lapa.’’We emphasize the quality of the land,
which greatly facilitates the construction and the close
geographic location to Curitiba, which allows you to
optimize resources by using the same suppliers who
provide services to the existing plant in the region”.
place; as well as being close to other important national
economies, as is the case of Minas Gerais, 2nd and Rio
Grande do Sul 4; and these states, reference in the distribution of industrial units of automotive parts. Is is worth noting
that Brazil is a growing market for the automotive industry, since it has 5.3 inhabitants per vehicle on average, while in
developed countries the ratio is 1.5.
Strategic geographical
positioning:
Proximity to the Mercosur
countries (Argentina, Brazil,
Paraguay and Uruguay);
Limits with São Paulo (north and
east), Santa Catarina (southwest),
Paraguay (west) and Mato Grosso
do Sul (northwest);
Centralized in a market with more
than 220 million people.
Figure 3 – strategic geographic positioning of Paraná.8
Another important factor in relation to the potential market served by the Paraná, it is the proximity to the
Southern Common Market countries- MERCOSUR, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The existing integration
between these countries generates tariff and trade benefits that result in increased competitiveness for companies
installed here.
Argentina, for example, imported from Paraná the amount of US$ 886,847 million for vehicles and their parts,
nuclear reactor and their parts, among other industry products electro metal mechanical pair in the year 2014.
Together Paraguay, Venezuela and Uruguay imported from Paraná US$ 205,747 million.

State tax incentives
The state program known as Competitive Paraná is an important tool within the new wave of state’s
industrialization. It benefits all regions of the state and already has the creation of more than 100,000 direct and
indirect jobs. The program was created in early 2011 to reinsert the Paraná on the agenda of local investment,
national and international. The Program includes a series of measures through the grace periods for payment of
ICMS, investments to improve infrastructure, foreign trade, bureaucracy and professional training, to make the
attractive enterprises that generate employment, income, wealth ans sustainable development throughout the state.
The benefits are based on Decree No. 630 of 14/02/2011, as
Figura 4
below, and techically they are defined in terms of the State’s priorities as the type of investment, job
creation, economic impact, environment and degree of innovation. The more poor and needy for a region, the greater

Labor
Paraná currently holds 5.8 million economically active persons, representing 6% of Brazil’s total. Of this amount,
46% are concentrated in the metropolitan region of Curitiba. Regarding the status of that labor, it turns out that the
state has more than 85,000 enrollments in vocational education, which puts the state in fourth place among the largest
professional manpower bidders in Brazil, representing 6% of total Brazilian. With regard to higher education, there is a
similar dynamic: Paraná also focuses almost 7% of enrollments in undergratuate courses and Postgraduate Brazil.
This scenario has a direct impact on Paraná contingent currently in high School and Higher.
The state of Paraná Federal University is the
oldest in Brazil, founded in 1912 and is a reference as
one of the best higher education institutions in Brazil.
