- Fábrica Peruana Eternit S.A. is a Peru-based manufacturer and distributor of building materials, operating as a subsidiary of the Belgian building materials multinational Etex Group NV. Founded in 1940 and headquartered in Lima, Peru, the company specializes in lightweight dry construction systems, exterior cladding, roofing solutions, and fluid management products for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial infrastructure markets. The company organizes its core commercial offerings across three principal product segments: Drywall and Architectural Building Boards, offering standard, moisture-resistant, and fire-resistant gypsum plasterboards under the Gyplac brand; heavy-duty fiber cement flat sheets and structural boards under the Superboard and Multiplac brands; and complementary dry construction components including finishing compounds, sealants, and mounting profiles; Roofing and Cladding Systems, comprising corrugated fiber cement roofing sheets under the Gran Onda and Perfil 4 lines; aesthetic lightweight roof tiles under the Teja Andina brand; and molded ridge caps, gutters, and architectural fittings; and Water and Liquid Storage Solutions, featuring multilayer rotational-molded polyethylene domestic water tanks, large-capacity industrial and agro-industrial storage cisterns, specialized tanks for wine and pisco processing, and ecological biodigester sanitation systems. The company operates three industrial manufacturing facilities in Peru located in Cercado de Lima, Huachipa, and Chiclayo, supporting extensive domestic distribution across coastal, Andean, and Amazonian territories. In recent corporate developments, parent firm Etex Group deployed a EUR 32.5 million capital investment program dedicated to the expansion, technological modernization, and operational efficiency of the Huachipa gypsum board facility, aimed at bolstering production capacity for dry construction systems and enhancing environmental performance through 2026. Operationally, the company implemented strategic executive leadership changes, appointing Carlos Nicolini Rosas as General Manager to oversee continued industrial optimization, portfolio expansion in sustainable construction materials, and commercial distribution initiatives across Peru.
