What Resintech does
Resintech, S.A. is a Costa Rica-based manufacturer of PVC compounds, founded in 1970 as BFGoodrich Química de Costa Rica and renamed in 1982 when local shareholders acquired majority ownership from BFGoodrich (now Polyone). Operating from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in San José with a wholly owned US distribution subsidiary (Resintech USA, Miami, est. 2006), the company produces both rigid and flexible PVC compounds under its RYT® brand for applications including profile extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, wire and cable insulation, footwear, bottles and containers, tubing, pipe and fittings, and special custom formulations. The company sells across Central America, the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America through direct sales agents, website-based quote requests, and a network of regional distributors that provide pre- and post-sales technical support.
The underlying technology is PVC compounding: mixing and fusing PVC resin with plasticizers, stabilizers, lubricants, colorants, and other modifiers to produce formulations tailored to customer processing equipment and end-use requirements, ranging from skin-soft to siding-hard durometers. Notable technical and compliance assets include UL-registered wire and cable compounds, FDA-compliant formulations for food and pharmaceutical packaging, a recycled PVC product line incorporating post-industrial content, and an Integrated Management System covering ISO 9001:2015 (held for 20+ years), ISO 14001:2015 (held for 15+ years), and ISO 50001:2018.
The business model is straightforward B2B industrial sales: custom-formulated compounds are sold via quote-based pricing to manufacturers in construction, wire and cable, footwear, packaging, pipe and tubing, automotive/marine, medical device, and film and sheet end markets, with technical support embedded as a pre- and post-sales service. The company accommodates small orders alongside larger accounts, maintains local inventory at both San José and Miami for delivery reliability, and supports customers through credit lines and R&D assistance; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are typically multi-year.
