What Serpac does

Serpac (legal name: SERPAC – Soluções em Embalagens) is a 100% Brazilian privately held pharmaceutical packaging company headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1975. The company provides primary and secondary packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries, specializing in blister packaging across multiple formats — Alu-Alu, Alu-Pvdc, Alu-Pvc, and Alu-Aclar — for solid dosage forms including tablets, dragees, and capsules. Serpac also offers bottle packaging in plastic and glass, secondary carton and display packaging, and clinical study kit assembly services. The company operates cGMP-compliant production lines under ANVISA regulatory oversight and maintains over 200 tooling formats for bench, pilot, and stability batches, including capabilities for controlled substances packaging under Portaria 344/98.

The company's technology platform is built around physical blister packaging machinery, with a notable 1999 milestone as the pioneer of Brazil's first national Alu-Alu blister packaging machine, following the earlier 1991 introduction of PVDC x Alu technology. Production lines incorporate online checkweigher systems for weight-based quality control, pharmacode coding for full product traceability, and custom layout development tailored to each client's product characteristics. Serpac follows LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) for data privacy compliance in addition to pharmaceutical manufacturing standards.

Serpac operates a B2B contract manufacturing business model, generating revenue through custom packaging projects for pharmaceutical laboratories and supplement manufacturers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with engagements initiated through direct sales consultation via WhatsApp, email, or website inquiry forms. The company serves both domestic Brazilian laboratories and multinational pharmaceutical companies, with disclosed customers including Pharlab, Merck, Marjan, and Aché. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers, supplemented by content marketing through a company blog covering pharmaceutical industry developments and active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. No public revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership structure data is disclosed.
