- Envases del Pacífico S.A. (EDELPA) is a Chile-based manufacturing company primarily engaged in the design, development, production, and commercialization of flexible packaging solutions for industrial and consumer goods. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Maipú, Santiago, Chile, the company operates as a publicly listed entity on the Santiago Stock Exchange (BCS: EDELPA) under the control of Chilean conglomerate Grupo Said. Envases del Pacífico S.A. supplies customized packaging to domestic and international markets across Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and Central America, primarily serving the processed food, dairy, meat and poultry, confectionery, snack, dry beverage, pet food, agro-industrial, personal care, pharmaceutical, and household chemical industries.
The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of flexible packaging products and converting services, categorized into: preformed pouches and bags, including stand-up Doypack pouches, vacuum-seal bags, flat pouches, side-gusseted bags, and reclosable zipper formats; multilayer laminated barrier films, consisting of high-barrier coextruded films engineered from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, and aluminum foil combinations designed to optimize oxygen and moisture protection; rollstock film structures for vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal (FFS) automated packaging lines; specialized die-cut and roll-fed lidding films, heat-sealable foil membranes, and peelable covers; roll-fed wrap-around and shrink sleeve labels; and technical converting services, encompassing high-definition rotogravure printing, flexographic printing, solventless and solvent-based extrusion lamination, precision slitting, laser perforation and scoring, pouch fabrication, prepress graphic engineering, and barrier shelf-life testing.
In recent developments, Envases del Pacífico S.A. has strategically accelerated its investments in sustainable packaging technologies and circular economy solutions. The company has expanded its commercial portfolio of recyclable monomaterial polyolefin structures (including all-polyethylene and all-polypropylene barrier laminates) and introduced industrially compostable packaging solutions tailored for dry food, sugar, and confectionery segments. Concurrently, EDELPA has reinforced its strategic commercial alliances with major multinational food corporations, including Arcor, through technical alignment workshops and joint development programs aimed at transitioning high-volume packaging lines to sustainable substrates. Operationally, following the completion of an extensive multi-year capital expenditure modernization cycle, the company has focused on maximizing asset efficiency and automated production capabilities across its 39,000-square-meter primary production complex in Santiago and its international operations through EdelpaMex S.A. de C.V., while advancing environmental compliance via its proprietary industrial solvent recovery plant to recycle inputs and reduce volatile emissions.
