MAGNO CARTONES Y EMPAQUES

What MAGNO CARTONES Y EMPAQUES does

MAGNO CARTONES Y EMPAQUES is a vertically integrated Honduran corrugated cardboard packaging manufacturer operating under Corporación MAGNO. Founded in 1994 as Corporación La Cartonera to address packaging shortages in the maquiladora sector, the company rebranded to MAGNO CARTONES & EMPAQUES in 2023 and is headquartered in Villanueva, Cortés, Honduras. It serves manufacturing, industrial, and textile/maquiladora clients across Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, with a dedicated subsidiary (Magno El Salvador) supporting the Salvadoran market.

The company operates a complete in-house production chain covering corrugation, conversion, printing, gluing, and die-cutting, supported by a dedicated micro-corrugated line for specialized packaging. Reported capacity stands at approximately 500 metric tons and 3–4 million square meters of corrugated board per month, housed within a 40,000+ m² facility that includes 30,000+ m² of warehouse space for finished goods. Operations are ISO 9001:2015 certified, and the company maintains its own distribution fleet to deliver directly to customer sites.

Commercially, MAGNO pursues a B2B enterprise sales model with direct field engagement of manufacturing and industrial buyers; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated from one-time sales of standard corrugated boxes, micro-corrugated specialty packaging, and value-added cardboard derivatives (custom converters, printing, gluing, die-cutting), supported by a rapid-delivery service positioned at 10–12 business days lead times. Its GTM is anchored by a bilingual sales team capable of managing maquiladora and multinational accounts, with international delivery handled through its owned fleet.
