What Polisur 2000 does

Polisur 2000 SLU is a privately held Spanish industrial packaging manufacturer founded in 1984 and headquartered in Lepe (Huelva), Spain. The company produces two principal material platforms: (1) EPS-Airpop (Expanded Polystyrene) moulded packaging, manufactured via steam pre-expansion of expandable polystyrene beads at 80–110 °C followed by mould welding, and (2) PET and PP packaging produced through Archimedes-screw extrusion and vacuum thermoforming. Its catalogue spans eight end-verticals — fish and seafood (93 SKUs), meat and dairy (28 SKUs), ice cream (15 SKUs), agriculture/seedbeds (112 SKUs), wine/bodegas, construction (including radiant-floor panels), Polarbox consumer coolers (12 SKUs) and PET/PP fresh-produce containers — alongside a Custom Design service for bespoke moulded packaging.

The company operates a vertically integrated model: in-house raw-material transformation, moulding, a custom design department, and a direct distribution network of 10+ named commercial delegations across Spain (Lepe HQ plus Sevilla, Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Algeciras, Málaga, Almería, Gran Canaria), Portugal (Olhão, Portimão), Morocco and Miami (USA), supported by a five-language website and own-store e-commerce with "Buy" capability on every SKU. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue streams are hardware sales of EPS-Airpop and PET/PP products plus project-based custom-design services and the Polarbox consumer sub-brand (distributed via polarbox.es / polarboxstyle.es).

Production runs on 100% renewable energy (solar panels + biomass boiler), and the company holds a dense regulatory stack — UNE-EN ISO 9001, UNE-EN ISO 14001, BRC-IOP Packaging (PET-PP), REACH compliance, Spanish food-contact sanitary registrations for both EPS-Airpop and PET/PP, Bisphenol-A-free certification and multiple migration-test reports — which functions as a de facto entry barrier for EU food-contact packaging. Legal form is Sociedad Limitada Unipersonal (single-member limited liability); no parent company, external shareholders or funding rounds are disclosed.
