Plaskem Embalagens

What Plaskem Embalagens does

Plaskem Embalagens Ltda. is a Brazilian flexible plastic packaging manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered at Avenida Santos Dumont 1712, Centro, Lauro de Freitas, Bahia. The company produces customized sacks, bags, and technical coils — including valve bags (saco valvulado), standard bags (saco comum), L-seal and hot-melt bags, hamper and flex-handle bags, pre-perforated waste bag rolls, technical roll stock film (bobina técnica), and multi-layer laminated packaging (embalagens laminadas). Production is centralized at its single Lauro de Freitas facility, supported by an in-house recycling loop that reuses all plastic scrap generated in manufacturing.

The company sells exclusively through a direct, quote-based B2B model. Customers reach the commercial team by phone ((71) 3186-0399), email ([email protected] for quotes, [email protected] for support), or online forms hosted on plaskem.com.br. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is built per order against customer specifications for format, size, print design, and performance characteristics. End markets are diversified across four verticals — industrial, agricultural, food, and hospital — with each segment requiring different performance, safety, and barrier specifications. Plaskem positions customization and sustainability (PCR materials, recyclability additives, and reverse logistics) as its primary differentiators rather than proprietary technology or scale.

Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees and the company is privately held with no disclosed investors, subsidiaries, parent company, partnerships, certifications, patents, or leadership roster. There are no software products, APIs, or digital applications; the operating model is a conventional regional plastics converter. No revenue, growth rate, funding history, or M&A activity is disclosed in the available data.
