Valfilm

What Valfilm does

Valfilm is a brand within Valgroup, a vertically integrated Brazilian plastics manufacturer founded in 1976 (the group claims more than 50 years of operating history). The company develops, manufactures, and markets flexible plastic packaging materials — including films, wraps, and specialty plastic products — and operates across the full plastic value chain from raw material compounding (resins and masterbatches) to finished packaging and recycling of PET bottles. Its product portfolio spans adhesive films, specialty films, wrapping machines, recycled resins and compounds, masterbatches, industrial applications, and bottle caps, addressing 14+ end markets including beverages, food, agriculture, agrochemicals, personal care, hygiene and cleaning, automotive lubricants, logistics, distribution and retail, and pet food.

The underlying technology base centers on plastic production, transformation, and recycling operations; the group runs 40 manufacturing plants across 6 countries and processes 3.5 billion PET bottles annually, supplying both internal recycled feedstock and external customers. Vertically integrated compounding and recycling capabilities are positioned as differentiators versus converters that rely on third-party recycled resin supply.

The business model is B2B industrial: direct sales to enterprise customers in target verticals, with quotes priced per application, volume, and specification (no public pricing). Revenue is generated through one-off sales of plastic products and films rather than recurring contracts, and the customer base is described as horizontal — diversified across many industries rather than concentrated in a single vertical. The US entity is headquartered in Findlay, Ohio (11-50 employees), serving as a regional commercial arm for North American customers.
