Standard America is an electronic board industry with a manufacturing unit in Campinas, in the interior of Sao Paulo, and operational offices in Portugal and the United States. Acquired in April this year by businessmen Hidalgo Dal Colletto and Ricardo Helmlinger, in the middle of a pandemic, the company is presenting a remarkable performance and, in its expansion plans, is internationalization.

“The Portugal 2020 project seeks, precisely, companies like ours and we will have technology, structure and strategy to operate across Europe and, also, in the United States, in a competitive way, climbing one step at a time”, ponders Helmlinger.

It should be recalled that in 2014, the European Commission brought together five European structural and investment funds to promote the growth of European countries that most need support in terms of development: European Regional Development Fund, Cohesion Fund, Social Fund European Fund, European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and European Fund for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. By the end of the project, Portugal will receive 25 billion euros by 2020 (which, in Portugal, corresponds to 25 billion euros).

In order to compete for financial support, projects must meet certain criteria, which demonstrate significant scientific, technological and economic specialization and which can generate competitive advantages for the country. When assessed against all these criteria, Standard America received a score of 4.19 on a scale of 6. STD America justifies the application for a financing of 1.5 million euros, revealing that it intends to build a 1,000 m2 factory in Portugal. “We chose cities between Aveiro and Coimbra, which will be defined during the course of the project”, informs Dal Colletto, one of the company's partners.

Under the Portugal 2020 project, 70% of the investment value will be borne by the Portuguese government, with STD America being responsible for investing the rest. “We will have two production lines, with a billing capacity of 2 million euros in the first year of operation”, explains the CEO.

The company intends to generate, in the first year, the creation of at least 50 direct jobs, and be able to meet the demand for electronic boards not only from Portugal, but also from other European countries. STD America plant is scheduled to start operations in the first half of 2022.
