Veloc prepares for construction industry demand

oglobo14 September 2026 at 18:45

Driven by the expansion of civil construction in Alagoas, which grew 58.1% over the past five years, Arapiraca consolidates its position as one of the main economic hubs in the state. The advancement of projects has increased the demand for modern, safe, and efficient equipment to meet the pace of construction and sustain the urban and economic growth of the region.

Data from the Brazilian Support Service for Micro and Small Enterprises (Sebrae) indicates that Alagoas has 17,830 companies in the "Casa Construção" (Home Construction) chain, encompassing everything from carpentry shops and metalworks to material stores, architects, decorators, and service providers. This ecosystem highlights the strength of the sector and its relevance to the state economy.

In Arapiraca, the second largest municipality in Alagoas, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has tripled over the past fifteen years, exceeding R$ 5 billion, according to information from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) released by the city government.

Given this growth scenario, the company Veloc is preparing to meet the demand of the civil construction sector, offering appropriate equipment to meet the needs of ongoing projects in the region.

Why this matters

The advancement of civil construction in Alagoas directly affects local companies and workers, from builders to construction material stores. As Arapiraca consolidates itself as an economic hub, it means more job opportunities and urban growth for the region, but also greater competition and the need for modernization to keep pace with construction projects.
