Motorola is celebrating 10 years of manufacturing activities in Brazil this month. During this period the company has produced millions of mobile handsets for the local and overseas markets.

For 10 years, Motorola has been investing heavily in Brazil, its manufacturing base for South America. A large part Motorola’s investment in the country has gone towards building the company’s Jaguariúna Industrial and Technological Campus in São Paulo, a newly integrated concept for industrial parks. The site currently houses the company’s manufacturing operations (e.g., cellular and iDEN terminals, two-way radios and radio base station transponders for cellular networks).

The site also houses the Cellular Terminal and Cellular Infrastructure Research as well as the Development Center, which has four worldwide centers of excellence in Cellular Software Integration Verification; Messaging, Infrastructure Applications and Services; and Softswitch Development. These initiatives began in 1997 with the Motorola Technological Development Program. The company has achieved significant results through the establishment of alliances with the leading universities in the country, and currently has a total of 800 engineers working in the R&D area.

The Motorola Brazil industrial complex is considered to be a major export center. The company is currently the biggest exporter of technology products in the country, with exports of more than US$ 5 billion since operations began in 1997. In 2005.

The company has also carved out space for the development of new technologies and innovative projects. As a result, the Jaguariúna plant has been the base for the following:

the first-ever cellular radio base station transponder plant in the country;
the first-ever semiconductor technology center in Latin America;
the first-ever pager plant in South America;
the first-ever iDEN plant outside the USA.

Additionally, in Brazil, Motorola has a strong presence in Internet and Cable TV access, cable modems, the Canopy wireless broadband system and other solutions for the corporate and personal communications markets.

Jaguariúna and the surrounding region have also benefited from Motorola’s presence. The company supports educational, social, cultural and environmental initiatives, such as the Guri project run by the São Paulo state government to promote social inclusion through music.

Timeline:
1971: Opening of company’s first sales office;
1992: Expansion of activities with the incorporation of Motorola do Brasil;
1995: Launch of first iDEN terminal, data transmission using wireless message transmission technology;
1996: Construction and inauguration of the mobile telephone factory in Jaguariúna, close to Campinas in the state of São Paulo. The Brazilian launch of the StarTAC, a worldwide success in sales;
2004: Launch of the innovative and iconic MOTORAZR V3, which reached worldwide sales of 50-million units. www.motorola.com

Motorola was founded as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928, at first, they produced several electrical devices, later mainly communication technology (automotive and portable) for gouvernment, industry, police, fire brigade, etc.

As I understand from the article above, in 1971 they started in Brasil.

I suppose, they started selling their communication devices in Brasil in 1971, and started manufacturing ten years ago.
