Complete Transfer of Production Lines
CNC Machines Dismantlement, Packing and Loading
In July 2020, Dextra Transport and Fracht Brazil were invited by General Motors to participate in the bid for the complete transfer of the engine block and cylinder head production lines installed at the GM Thailand plant, to the GM plant in São José dos Campos in Brazil.
This huge and complex project with more than 3600 items and 7600 freight tons to dismantle, pack and ship was awarded to Dextra Industry & Transport after numerous round of negotiations.
The great challenge of this project was to carry out, in addition to decommissioning, the complete recovery of the area where the machines were originally installed, in a period of 4 months and during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
