Selenis makes a strategic alliance with Entec Ravago Group to distribute its line of products

September 2022

Selenis, a subsidiary of the IMG Group, is a Portuguese company present in the polymer industry since 1959 and a pioneer in PET extrusion. The company has joined a strategic alliance with Entec Polymers (a Ravago Group company) to distribute its line of products in the Spanish-speaking countries in Latin American, whose representatives are in Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Chile and Argentina.

With this alliance, both companies will be able to offer a better service to those customers who are looking for greater efficiency, speed, punctual delivery of products, local technical support, and competitive prices in a market where there is currently great unpredictability and instability due to the existing global situation, we are all facing.

“As we are going to increase our production capacity in the coming months, it is extremely important to have efficient partners so that we are able to deliver our products as quickly and efficiently as possible, facilitating negotiations with customers who want to work with a good product, but that do not have a large purchase volume and that require buying through a local distributor. Latin America is a very demanding market, since customers and brands look for special resins for different applications, manufacturing processes, and high-quality final products, range with specific properties, which are only found in the polymers produced by Selenis.” – Leandro White (Sales – Selenis, North America)

In addition, Selenis also has a line of sustainable and ecological products, such as copolyesters, with PCR obtained through molecular recycling in its composition (ECO line) and resins with premium properties and still classified as code 1-RIC1 (CE line), which can be recycled in the same recycling chain as PET bottles.

The main characteristics of Selenis materials are:

  • Excellent chemical resistance
  • Good barrier properties
  • Exceptional clarity
  • High brightness
  • Design flexibility
  • Easy to process
  • Excellent decorative ability
  • Processing fleibility
  • Fast cycle times
  • High impact resistance
  • Heavy wall capacity
  • Ease of secondary operations
  • Free of BPA and additives
