Camaçari is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Bahia. It is known as the “Industrial City” because it hosts the Camaçari Industrial Hub. It is the fourth most populous municipality in the state and the second most populous in the Salvador Metropolitan Region.
It has the second largest municipal gross domestic product in the state (after Salvador; it is also the 8th largest in the Northeast Region and the 38th largest in the country), estimated at R$25.6 billion in 2020 (IBGE data). It is one of the 71 Brazilian municipalities integrated into Mercosur.
It was the site of the Ford Motor Company Brasil plant (opened on 12 October 2001 and closed on 12 May 2021, twenty years after its opening; it was the first car factory established in Brazil's Northeast Region) and of the Petrochemical Hub, the largest industrial complex in the state, which houses numerous chemical and petrochemical industries. Over the years, however, it began to host other branches of industry, such as automotive, pulp, rubber, copper metallurgy, textiles, fertilizers, wind energy, beverages and services. It is the country's first planned petrochemical complex and the largest integrated industrial complex in the Southern Hemisphere, with more than 90 companies installed.
