NOVA A3 MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V.

What NOVA A3 MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V. does

Nova A3 is a privately held industrial manufacturer, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Areal (Rio de Janeiro), Brazil, that produces disposable gloves, pharmaceutical and cosmetic leaflets, and flexible polyethylene packaging for B2B customers. The company operates three core product families: five disposable glove SKUs (Kit Luva + Bula, Par de Luvas, Luvas Safety-One, Luva Fácil, Luvas Industriais), rotogravure-printed pharmaceutical inserts and instruction leaflets (Folhetos Informativos/Bulas), and custom-manufactured industrial plastic sacks (Sacos para a Indústria). Two consumer-adjacent sub-brands, Pratic Roll (special waste bags) and Pet Clean (pet hygiene), sit alongside the core catalog.

The company's technical differentiation rests on vertical integration: it produces 100% of its own plastic film (high- and low-density polyethylene), performs rotogravure printing on FSC-certified paper, and runs automatic folding for micro-formats, all within a single 55,000 m² eco-sustainable plant (7,000 m² built area, 13,000 m² environmental reserve). A proprietary Automatic Kit machine, co-developed with a German manufacturer in 2002, laminates gloves and leaflets into a single integrated SKU. Production operates under BPF (Good Manufacturing Practices) culture, supporting qualification in pharmaceutical and cosmetic end markets.

The go-to-market is direct B2B sales-led, targeting six verticals (cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, pet, retail, and laboratory) with quote-based, custom-specification pricing and bulk pack formats (5,000–10,000 unit boxes). Distribution is direct to industrial and brand customers through a commercial team that commits to a one-business-day response time. The Mexican entity NOVA A3 MEXICO, S. DE R.L. DE C.V., inaugurated in 2013 in Querétaro, functions as the group's North American manufacturing and sales footprint. Revenue, customer names, and headcount for the broader group are not publicly disclosed.
