Grupo AMB

What Grupo AMB does

Grupo AMB is a privately held Brazilian industrial group founded in 2011, headquartered in Lins in the state of São Paulo and operating manufacturing units in Guaiçara and Cafelândia. The group's core business is vertically integrated production of flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC, marketed as Big Bags) through a six-stage process covering extrusion of polypropylene tape, circular-loom weaving of raffia fabric, lamination, up to 10-color printing, finishing (sewing or welding), and internal recycling of production scraps back into resin.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of Big Bags and raffia fabric (AMB Bag subsidiary, including a broad variant portfolio — standard, tubular, structured/travado, with skirt cap, discharge spout, internal liner, and post-consumer-recycled PCR versions — plus handle accessories), packaged industrial solutions (Propack), agribusiness products encompassing cattle genetics (RC Genética) and dairy (Nata do Campo, both under Prosper), and a circular-economy reverse-logistics service (Veces). Pricing is quote-based and customized per client specifications.

Go-to-market is an enterprise field-sales motion targeting industrial buyers in agriculture, construction, chemicals, and food, supported by participation in major trade shows (Tecnoshow Comigo, K Fair in Düsseldorf), content marketing via a corporate blog and newsletter, and a WhatsApp-based direct quoting channel for smaller customers. The customer base is led by large Brazilian food and agribusiness processors, with MBRF naming Grupo AMB as Best Packaging Supplier for two consecutive years and Usina Caçú certified under the Veces PCR program. Quality credentials rest on ISO 9001:2015 certification through APCER.
