What CONTE GROUP does

Conte Group S.A.C. is a privately held Peruvian industrial chemicals distributor and compounder founded in 1976 by Hebert Tejada and Sofia Ito and headquartered in Lima. The company distributes, imports, and compounds industrial chemicals and polymers serving the rubber, plastics, polyurethane, footwear, and construction industries across Peru and, via its Ecuadorian subsidiary Procaesa, the broader Andean region. Its portfolio spans more than 20,000 SKUs, including raw materials, specialty additives, and proprietary compounded products such as EVA compounds (introduced in 2014 as reportedly the first Peruvian production of these materials) and over 3,000 color formulations developed in-house by chemical engineers.

The business model combines third-party distribution with value-added compounding and proprietary brand manufacturing. Long-tenured exclusive representation agreements, notably with German specialty additives supplier Struktol since 1990, anchor the distribution franchise, while proprietary brands Massa DunDun, TPENANO, and Colortec capture higher-margin compounded sales. Logistics are operated in-house through four warehouse locations totaling 17,000 square meters and a fleet of 10 delivery trucks, with triple ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certification. The company serves approximately 500 clients weekly, including named enterprise customers such as Molitalia, San Fernando, Avinka, and Hersil, and reports an estimated 70% share of the Peruvian rubber industry.

Conte Group's Ecuadorian subsidiary Procaesa processes natural rubber to feed upstream supply into the Peruvian compounding operation, providing vertical integration into raw materials. The company has diversified adjacent to its core franchise into construction materials (2016) and HDPE plastic pallets (2017), and has continued to add new international supplier partnerships. With 53 employees, no external investors, and a closely held family ownership structure, the firm operates as a mid-sized specialty industrial distributor with concentrated market position in its home market.
