What Patena Industria E Comercio De Resinas E Filmes Plasticos does

Patena Indústria e Comércio de Resinas e Filmes Plásticos LTDA, operating commercially as Packing Group, is a privately held Brazilian industrial group and the largest flexible plastic packaging manufacturer in Latin America. The group operates eight manufacturing plants across Brazil — including the flagship Guanapack facility in Três Rios (100,000 m², 80,000 tons/year stretch film, the only NANOLAYER 36-layer line in the region) — plus a distribution center in Madrid, Spain, producing in aggregate more than 300,000 tons of film per year and employing over 2,000 people.

The product portfolio centers on multilayer coextruded films: stretch films (manual, automatic, coreless and 36-layer nanolayer variants), shrink films, technical films (transparent, pigmented, perforated, up to 8-color HD flexo print), disposable hygienic films for diapers and personal care, agricultural films (Feno Safe hay/silage stretch, plastic tarpaulins up to 12 m wide, mulching films), industrial bags, recycled resins (PEBDL Stretch Cristal, PEBD Cameron grades, PEAD Leitoso, etc.), and Smart Wasp pallet wrapping machines (X1, X100, R600). Process IP includes proprietary NANOLAYER technology and an encapsulation method that integrates post-consumer recycled (PCR) content up to 100% into conventional polyethylene structures, supporting the Blue PE sustainable sub-brand.

The business model is industrial B2B with quote-based pricing on multi-year contracts and direct field-sales coverage across Brazil, with additional commercial presence in the US and Europe. Customers span at least eight verticals — food and beverage (Heineken is a named reference), agriculture, hygienic disposables, logistics/warehousing, chemical and petrochemical, automotive, paper and cellulose, and construction. The group is ISO 9001:2015, EcoVadis, SEDEX and QIMA/WQS certified, LGPD-compliant, and a member of the Rede pela Circularidade do Plástico (since 2023), with a stated NET ZERO emissions target by 2040.
