AmBev completed the installation of the Beverage Counting System (Sicobe) - a mechanism to combat tax evasion that works as a production counter - with the approval by the IRS of the 28 factories it owns in Brazil. With that, AmBev's industrial park becomes the largest platform in the country with 100% of its production controlled by the new tax system. The company's investment to install 166 meters was R $ 6 million. Ambev's factories in Gama and Goiânia were the first in the country where Sicobe was installed. By December 31, all beverage manufacturers in the country must install the system.
