Grupo Ur Garbia S.a.

What Grupo Ur Garbia S.a. does

Grupo Ur Garbia S.A. is a privately held Chilean beverage development and contract packaging company headquartered in Lampa, Chile. Originally founded in 1999 as Licsa Ilimitada, the company underwent a complete reengineering and modernization of its 10,000 m² plant beginning in March 2022 and rebranded as Grupo Ur Garbia S.A. The firm operates a dual business model: (1) contract manufacturing (co-packing) services for third-party beverage brands, and (2) the production and sale of its own branded beverages. The contract manufacturing service spans the full value chain — formulation development in a first-tier laboratory, design, labeling, production, packaging, and palletizing — across three formats: aluminum cans (seven formats from 220cc to 473cc), PET bottles (300cc to 6000cc), and glass bottles (250cc to 1000cc). Production capacity stands at 32,000 bottles per hour across five automated can/PET lines plus one dedicated glass line capable of 1,900 bottles per hour, with a minimum order batch of 20,000 units.

The company's own branded portfolio includes Agua Ur Garbia (still and sparkling purified water), EnerGética Godzilla (guaraná-based energy drink), and Bebidas MC (tropical-flavored carbonated soft drinks). Named B2B customers span retail enterprises (Tottus Peru for private-label co-packing) and craft/startup beverage brands (La Liebre, Strike One, Five Drinks). The company holds HACCP and GMP international food-safety certifications and is a member of the Interviñas association of Chilean wineries. Its geographic footprint is primarily Chile with service delivery extending into Peru through the Tottus relationship. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list, and customer acquisition relies on direct B2B outreach via a website contact form and email. Grupo Ur Garbia self-positions as the third-largest bottler in Chile with over 25 years of industry experience and a roster of 10+ major brand clients.
