About Us

Julio García e Hijos S.A. is a leading enterprise in the Argentinian plastic industry dedicated to the development, production and commercialization of COLOUR MASTERBATCHES, ADDITIVES, PIGMENT DISPERSIONS AND COMPOUNDS in all types of thermoplastic.

 

Our production units and their laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We rely as well on a team of professionals who are highly trained in research and development. This allows us to guarantee the quality and reliability of our products, the rigorous control of the production processes and an outstanding customer service.

With the purpose of supplying an increasingly demanding and competitive market, it was decided to get up a new business unit, CONCENTRATES AND COMPOUNDS, whose commercial activity began in August 2012. This unit is located in the Industrial Park in Pilar and it stands out for its world class cutting-edge technology.

JULIO GARCÍA E HIJOS S.A. and CONCENTRATES AND COMPOUNDS, share the same directive, executive and commercial board??? as well as the same management systems, in particular in connection with processes, specifications and product quality, environmental care, safety and workers’ health.

In this way, our nameplate capacity rises to 2.100 tons per month, which allows us to count with diverse productive scales and to offer our products in vast volumes.

 

Thanks to this dedication to innovation, service and steady growth, we have been able to successfully respond to the demands of the global markets, facing the challenge of consolidating our leadership in Argentina and increasing our participation in Latin America through our distributors in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

 

Our constant improvement, based on our management system, pushes and focuses our efforts with the aim of improving the competitiveness of our products to benefit our clients and boost our commercial bonds.

Our company is certified by ISO Norms ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.
