Pharmapack

What Pharmapack does

Pharmapack (PHARMAPACK, S.A. de C.V.) is a privately held Mexican pharmaceutical contract packaging manufacturer founded in 1991 and headquartered in Coyoacán, Mexico City. The company operates four production plants across Mexico — one in CDMX, one in Toluca (Estado de México), and two in Guadalajara (Jalisco) — and serves four end verticals: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and veterinary products. Its core services are primary packaging (thermoformed and cold-formed blister packs, sachets for powders, granules, liquids, and semi-solids in clean-room environments), secondary packaging, and tertiary conditioning including shrink wrapping, multipacks, and promotional packaging for retail chains. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certifications across multiple plants (Bureau Veritas), an FDA Certificate of Registration, and 21 CFR Part 820 compliance for medical devices.

Pharmapack's technical differentiation rests on proprietary packaging innovations developed in-house: cold-forming foil with desiccant (a PVC-free tri-laminate for maximum moisture/oxygen/light barrier), child-resistant foil meeting FDA standards with multiple opening mechanisms, and anti-counterfeiting foil solutions for brand and product integrity. The company also maintains in-house tooling and format design capabilities for custom blister configurations. These are delivered to enterprise pharmaceutical laboratories in Mexico and North American specialized companies through a direct enterprise sales motion, with Pharmapack positioning itself as an extension of the client's laboratory operations.

The business model is B2B contract manufacturing with quote-based pricing that varies by project scope, volume, materials, and customer requirements. Marketing and lead generation rely on trade show participation (Vector Pharma, Expofarma, IME West MD&M) and a LinkedIn presence. Recent expansion signals include the 2019 Toluca plant opening dedicated to cosmetics and supplements, 2020 capacity additions (new blister and sachet machines), 2018 FDA registration and 2023 IME West exhibition indicating US-market intent, and a 2024 Walt Disney FAMA authorization signaling diversification into consumer merchandise packaging. No public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosures are available.
