Its packaging arm spans Fadesa (plastic and metal packaging) and Ecuabarnices (premium metal packaging coatings), forming an internal supply chain that feeds its food businesses — Semvra (canned, frozen, and preserved foods), Facundo (branded food products), and Chivería (dairy). La Llave serves the industrial solutions segment, Ecuaimco distributes hardware products, and Inmovila develops real estate projects. The group is led by Carlos Andrés Piovesan as President of the Board of Directors.

The business model is a multi-segment B2B and B2C operation serving the Ecuadorian domestic market. Each subsidiary runs its own direct sales and distribution network targeting enterprise and consumer customers in its respective vertical.

Grupo Vilaseca positions itself around sustainability and corporate responsibility, holding member status in the United Nations Global Compact and operating with carbon neutral ("Carbono Neutro") and carbon footprint ("Huella de Carbono") certifications for its corporate office, aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. No technology platform, proprietary software, or digital products are disclosed; the group's value proposition rests on its physical-product portfolio, intra-group vertical integration between packaging and food, and its sustainability credentials.
