Copamex Corrugados

What Copamex Corrugados does

Copamex Corrugados is a Mexican manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging and a division of Grupo Copamex, a domestic conglomerate with more than 96 years in the paper industry. Founded in 2000 and operating two mega production plants — one in San Nicolás de los Garza (Nuevo León) and one in Azcapotzalco (Mexico City) — the company supplies corrugated sheets, regular slotted and die-cut boxes, trays, dividers, and custom packaging to enterprise customers across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail, and consumer goods. Its product range supports board widths up to 2.5 meters and B, C, E, and double-corrugated flute structures, with optional specialty coatings including a patent-pending fire-retardant treatment, anti-grease, and anti-slip finishes.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on Fosber corrugating equipment, five-color flexographic printing presses, a cutting table for prototyping, and an in-house testing laboratory for Edge Crush, Mullen burst, and Box Compression tests. Quality and sustainability credentials include ISO 9001:2015, BRCGS 6th edition, FSC Chain of Custody, and the Mariposa Monarca eco-label. R&D and prototyping are anchored at the CINNCO innovation center in Nuevo León, and a packaging engineering team provides design, optimization, and customer training services.

Commercially, Copamex Corrugados operates a traditional enterprise field-sales model with no online or social-media sales channel. All orders are handled via direct phone and email contacts at the two plant locations, supported by relationship-based account management and technical advisory services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per specification. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity, and its customer roster includes Bimbo, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Walmart, P&G, Pfizer, Hershey, Mondelez, Bayer, and other multinational brands served under bespoke packaging specifications.
