Tecnopres Gráfica

What Tecnopres Gráfica does

Tecnopres Gráfica S.A. is a privately held Colombian packaging manufacturer founded in 1994 and headquartered in Mosquera, Cundinamarca, operating a single manufacturing facility in the Parque Industrial San Jorge. The company produces HDPE (PEAD) and PET plastic containers — including bottles, jars, jugs (garrafas), pesticide containers, and caps — alongside paper-based and biodegradable packaging such as cardboard food-delivery boxes (Ecoamigables line), kraft bowls with PP or kraft lids, paper cup sleeves (capacillos), and slip covers (contratapas). Materials are FDA-certified for food contact and positioned around sustainability, with compostable and eco-friendly options in the catalog.

The business operates a dual model: a self-service e-commerce storefront listing standardized "productos de línea" sold in fixed package quantities (with prices in Colombian Pesos before IVA), and a B2B custom-packaging service ("productos personalizados") that provides advisory, mold development, custom dimensions, and printing on a quoted basis. Online checkout is enabled through local Colombian payment rails (PSE, EFECTY, BALOTO, PAGA TODO), supplemented by WhatsApp and direct phone sales channels, with in-person pickup available at the Mosquera facility. Customers are food-service operators, restaurants, food-delivery businesses, F&B manufacturers (beverages, dairy, yogurt), and pesticide/chemical buyers — segmented by vertical rather than by enterprise tier. The company is privately held, with no disclosed ownership, funding events, management team, or financial results beyond product pricing and headcount in the 11-50 range.
