Amoplast S.A. is a privately held Argentine plastic container manufacturer founded in 1963 in Rosario, Santa Fe, where it operates as the first plastic packaging factory established in Argentina's interior. The company produces bottles, jars, jerrycans, and caps using injection molding and blow molding across multiple plastic materials (LDPE, HDPE, PET, PVC), organized into 50+ product lines spanning capacities from 5cc dropper bottles to 20-liter stackable bidons. Its portfolio includes tamper-evident screw caps, child-safety closures, induction-seal foil options, and specialized designs such as doser caps, droppers, and rectangular bidons with handles.
The company's primary customer verticals are food and beverage (oils, sauces, condiments, beverages, honey) and pharmaceutical/health packaging (dropper bottles, child-resistant containers), with cosmetic and personal care as a secondary vertical. Amoplast maintains certifications under the Argentine Food Code, the Argentine Ministry of Health, and ISO 9001, which serve as regulatory prerequisites for serving food and pharmaceutical customers. Products include specialized security closure systems and a diverse material portfolio tailored to industry-specific compliance requirements.
Amoplast sells directly to B2B customers through its headquarters in Rosario (manufacturing and primary operations) and a sales office in Buenos Aires. Distribution is direct with no intermediaries; channels include a website catalog, Facebook, and WhatsApp Business for customer engagement. Revenue is generated through unit-based pricing on catalog products with volume-quantified packaging, and the company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, or funding rounds.
