What Fibraforte does
Fibraforte, legally Industrias Fibraforte S.A., is a Peruvian manufacturer of construction materials founded in 1993 and headquartered at the Chilca plant in the Cañete province south of Lima. The company produces three core product lines: lightweight roofing coverings (polypropylene corrugated and trapezoidal sheets, UPVC thermoacoustic sheets, and fibrocemento tiles and flat plates), rotomolded polyethylene water storage tanks in 600L, 1100L, and 2500L capacities, and flat fibrocement plates sold under the Plastiglass sub-brand. Manufacturing is built around proprietary technologies including co-extrusion multi-layer Ultra Polipropileno (UPP), UPVC thermoacoustic formulations, and PVA-based asbestos-free fibrocemento, complemented by a rotomolding line, recycling capability, and a new inkjet product identification system.
The company serves four customer segments — residential construction (primary), industrial facilities, institutional/government projects, and agriculture — with end-customer reach mediated through a nationwide network of authorized distributors and hardware stores plus direct technical advisory and quotation services delivered via WhatsApp and phone. Fibraforte has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Elementia Materiales consortium since 2010, gaining access to the parent's regional footprint of 39 plants across 9 Latin American countries. The business operates on a transactional hardware-sales model with quote-based pricing, supported by technical content marketing, downloadable installation guides, the Taller de Especialistas installer training program, and ISO 9001/14001/45001-certified processes.
