What Evertis does

Evertis is a privately-held manufacturer of PET-based multilayer barrier films for food packaging, headquartered operationally at Portalegre, Portugal under the IMG Group umbrella. The company produces a portfolio of coextruded and laminated films organized across six application categories — sustainable innovations, package solutions, medium barrier, high barrier, flexible, skin, and hot-fill — with product families including ECOSEAL™, ECOBAR™, ECOPACK™, ECOSAFE™, ECOBLOCK™, FLEXSAFE™, FILLPACK™, and IR Black carbon-black-free detectable grades. Manufacturing occurs at three industrial sites (Portugal, Brazil, Mexico) supported by Renascis, an integrated recycling plant that supplies 55% of Evertis flake consumption, and sister company Selenis, a specialty polyester producer co-located at the same Portuguese site.

The company's core technology is multilayer PET extrusion combined with a proprietary delamination process that allows recycled PET recovered from multilayer waste to be reintroduced as secondary raw material into film production. This supports up to 50% post-consumer recycled content and enables trays to carry the RIC1 recyclability code with more than 90% PET composition. Sales are conducted through a direct B2B field motion with eco-design consultation, targeting food packaging converters serving fresh and processed meat, cheese, fish, pizza, hot-fill, HPP, and skin-pack applications; the Evercare® brand extends into healthcare packaging. Evertis monetizes primarily through one-time sale of manufactured film, with pricing not publicly disclosed.

Commercial operations span Portugal, Spain, Germany, France, the USA, and Italy, complemented by industrial presence in Brazil and Mexico. The company holds ISO 9001/14001/45001, BRC, FSSC 22000, FDA 21 CFR 177, EU 10/2011, Retray Process, RecyClass, and ISCC PLUS certifications, anchoring its sustainability-led positioning. Strategic priorities, evidenced by 2024-2025 launches (ECOSEAL, ECOBAR, Perpetuity®) and a new flexible films plant in Badajoz, point toward scaling mono-material recyclable films, advancing the closed-loop circular economy thesis, and adjacent expansion into healthcare via Evercare® and R&D via the Everbio Innovation Hub.
