What Antilhas Embalagens does

Antilhas Embalagens (Grupo Antilhas) is a privately held Brazilian integrated packaging company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo. It operates three business units: Retail packaging (Varejo), Industrial packaging across Cardboard and Flexible substrates, and Logistics services. Production uses Electron Beam technology and the company holds an extensive certification stack including FSC, FSSC 22000, ISO 9001/14001/45001, Disney FAMA, and ECOVADIS, pre-qualifying it for global beauty, food, and entertainment supply chains.

The company sells to enterprise brand owners across multiple verticals. Named customers include O Boticário, Natura, Avon, Havaianas, Unilever, PepsiCo, Whirlpool, Colgate, and Casa Bauducco. Its logistics arm operates 160 cross-docking terminals and approximately 23,000 m² of warehouse space, and runs a JIT-FP (Just-in-Time for Packaging) program integrated with SAP that synchronizes packaging supply with client production lines. Salesforce supports CRM and S&OP/MRP provides demand planning with 18-month visibility.

The business model combines physical product sales (packaging materials across cardboard and flexible formats) with logistics services revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct with multi-year supply relationships, supplemented by retail-channel packaging distribution. The company employs 501–1,000 people and has accumulated 450+ awards over its 35+ year history, with recent strategic emphasis on sustainable formats (mono-material PE, PCR content) and Latin American exports beyond the domestic Brazilian market.
