Core offering

Soliplast designs, manufactures, and distributes HDPE monolithic plastic pallets and modular flooring systems for industrial material handling and logistics applications. The product range spans heavy duty, racking, floor, export/one-way, modular flooring, spill containment, and SD+ pallets, produced via structural foam injection molding in Colombia and sold to industrial buyers across Latin America.

Product overview

Soliplast is a manufacturer of plastic pallets (also known as estibas, tarimas, or parihuelas) serving industrial sectors across Latin America. The product portfolio centers on five core pallet categories: Heavy Duty pallets for heavy-load operations, Pallets para estantería for racking systems, Pallets para piso for floor-level storage, Pallets tipo exportación (One Way) for export applications, and Pisos plásticos modulares for modular flooring. The SD+ sub-line offers premium heavy-duty variants with mechanical attachment systems and glass fiber reinforcement. All products are manufactured using Structural Foam injection technology with HDPE (virgin and recycled) combined with anti-UV and high-impact additives. The company supports its product offerings with complementary services including Asesoría 360° advisory, an online pricing calculator, and a Replacement Program that enables circular economy through a 5:1 exchange methodology.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Faber Pallets: Brazilian manufacturer of plastic pallets serving Brazilian and broader South American markets. Direct regional competitor to Soliplast in Latin America, with comparable HDPE pallet offerings and food/industrial customer base.
• Loscam: Asia-Pacific pallet pooling and asset-management operator serving 14+ countries; comparable to Soliplast on pooled-asset models and reusable pallet programs, though primarily Asia-Pacific rather than Latin America.

Broad incumbents

• Brambles Limited: Parent of CHEP and the world's largest pooled pallet and container operator with revenue measured in billions USD. Sets the competitive bar for global pallet platforms and could enter or expand in Latin America, directly threatening Soliplast's regional incumbency.
• CHEP (Brambles): Global pallet pooling heavyweight offering wood and plastic pallet services across consumer goods, retail, and industrial supply chains. Competes with Soliplast for export, food-grade, and cold-chain pallet RFPs but operates a fundamentally different pooling/rental model rather than direct-sale pallets.
• Schoeller Allibert: European returnable plastic packaging manufacturer offering plastic pallets, crates, and containers for industrial, food, and automotive supply chains. Overlaps with Soliplast on HDPE plastic pallets and cold-chain / food verticals; broader portfolio and deeper European footprint.

Direct peers

• ORBIS Corporation: U.S.-based reusable plastic packaging manufacturer (part of Menasha) producing plastic pallets, bulk containers, and totes for industrial supply chains. Directly comparable on HDPE/polymer pallet manufacturing, food/pharma/cold-chain verticals, and reusable/closed-loop program offerings.
• Cabka Group: European-headquartered manufacturer of plastic pallets (EPP, HDPE, injection-molded), with global operations including the Americas. Directly comparable to Soliplast on product category (HDPE plastic pallets), manufacturing technology, and target verticals (food, cold chain, industrial).
• Rehrig Pacific Company: U.S. manufacturer of reusable plastic pallets, bulk containers, and recycling bins with HDPE and injection-molded products. Comparable on plastic pallet technology, food/pharma retail verticals, and circular-economy positioning.
• iGPS Logistics: U.S. operator of a plastic pallet rental pool serving food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Comparable to Soliplast's closed-loop replacement program and HDPE pallet specifications, though structured as rental pooling versus Soliplast's hybrid sale/buyback model.
• Bekuplast: German plastic pallet manufacturer producing HDPE injection-molded pallets for retail, food, and industrial customers. Directly comparable on product, manufacturing technology, and verticals; complements European peer set alongside Cabka.
