First manufacturing plant
The first building to house the then Eletromotores Jaragua, which would later become the WEG Group, was rented by the founders and had little equipment and only a few employees. In 2003, the first headquarters of the Group became the WEG Museum, a space of emotion and interaction that brings together in one place the history of the company, the culture of Jaragua do Sul and the wonders of science and technology.
Manufacturing Plant II
Established in 1972 in Jaragua do Sul, today Plant II has about 950,000 m2 and has over 13,000 employees.
CentroWEG
Escolinha WEG (escolinha means small school in Portuguese) started in Jaragua do Sul in 1968 because of the need to qualify manpower to work in the company. Today, with support from Senai (National Industrial Learning Service), the project has 250 students who have access to technical education and the opportunity to obtain professional qualification and also the certainty of employment at the company after finishing the course.
Reforestation plant
Throughout its history, WEG has always given great importance to preserving the environment and natural resources of the planet. The company has maintained reforestation plants since 1972, and its main mission is continued and sustainable growth.
CCQ
The CCQ program (Quality Control Circles) was implemented in 1982 and today is part of the WEG culture. Through these groups, each employee can offer suggestions on improvement in various sectors in the company, including quality, safety, health and productivity. Today, WEG has 512 CCQ groups in the units of Jaragua do Sul, Guaramirim, Blumenau, Itajaí, Joaçaba, Sao Bernardo do Campo, Mexico, Australia, Portugal and China which together have implemented more than 69,000 projects in the company.
