Grupo Perplast

What Grupo Perplast does

Grupo Perplast S. de R. L. de C. V. is a privately held Mexican plastic injection molding and mold manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Naucalpan de Juárez, Estado de México. The company operates from a 2,500 square meter facility that integrates mold design and fabrication (using CNC machines, EDM equipment, mills, lathes, and grinding machines), injection molding with clamping force up to 500 tons and shot weights from 1 to 1,300 grams, and downstream assembly and decoration services including offset/hot stamping/pad printing, liner placement, packaging, labeling, and heat shrinking. Its technical specialization centers on Surlyn resin — a difficult-to-process ionomer used in cosmetics and fragrance caps — where the company is one of the principal consumers in Latin America at more than 150 metric tons annually with scrap rates below 3%.

The company serves enterprise customers across at least 11 verticals, including cosmetics and fragrance (Jafra, Revlon, Avon, Belcorp, Zermat, Schwan Cosmetics, Fraiche, Colomer), food and beverage packaging (PepsiCo, Mondelez), consumer products (Tupperware, Stanhome), automotive (Motorad), electronics (Intelitec), packaging (Terramar), and animal identification (All Tag). Its go-to-market is a direct B2B field sales model in which customers submit 3D STEP files, 2D drawings, or physical samples for quoting, with monthly or yearly piece volumes used to drive cavity count and tool design. Pricing on molds starts at approximately $5,000 USD depending on piece complexity, with molds guaranteed for up to 1,000,000 pieces per cavity without client-side maintenance costs. The business is supported by ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, 100% electric injection machinery to reduce environmental footprint, and a bilingual website plus targeted social media presence used as top-of-funnel demand generation.

Grupo Perplast generates revenue through three primary streams: plastic injection manufacturing services (one-time/per-piece production runs across Surlyn, polypropylene, polycarbonate, ABS, nylon, and other engineering resins), mold design and manufacturing (one-time tooling sales with multi-year warranties), and value-added assembly and decoration services (professional services billed alongside parts). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing, and operates as an independently owned Mexican manufacturing business serving both domestic and international markets.
