Inaugurated in 2015, the unit Valvetrain Poços de Caldas produces camshafts for passenger cars. It combines the latest in existing technologies by connecting all of its production processes; making the company's first plant in the country fully adapted to the concept of Industry 4.0, which represents the future of manufacturing processes.

Whoever is working at thyssenkrupp in Poços de Caldas, besides a warm climate and security of the interior city, will find this same environment in the plant. Besides being one of the most technological and modern factories of the company in the country, the company has a light, welcoming, young and diverse atmosphere. The company cares about the well-being of its employees, leading them honestly, directly and respectfully.

We are committed to improve our business, develop our workforce, and encourage innovative ideas to continuously improve.

Benchmarking other thyssenkrupp units around the world is encouraged in order to find best solutions and avoid “reinventing the wheel”. Feedback and suggestions from every level are respected and encouraged by our leadership. Employees are rewarded and recognized for going above and beyond what is required. When errors are committed, they are seen as opportunities for learning, and processes are reviewed to prevent recurrence of the error. We address problems openly and directly with our employees to create effective and efficient solutions.

An environment with many different and diverse minds coming and working together provides many more solutions as every individual brings in their personal way of thinking, operating and solving problems and making decision. We encourage diversity in the workplace to inspire all of our employees to perform to their highest performance levels.
