OUR HISTORY
MAPA

PRINCZ was founded in December 1948, in the city of San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires, starting our activities with the production of Cellulose Acetate compounds and film.

In 1958 we added PVC compounds to the production line, which today is our main product.

We have a second manufacturing plant PRINCZ SAN LUIS S.A. located in the industrial area of Villa Mercedes, in the Province of San Luis, which contributed to the constant process of growth and expansion of our national and international market.

We incorporate the innovative cascade planetary plasticizing system. At that time, the first material was also produced for export to Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

We managed to be the first Argentinian company in the area that obtains the certification of its Quality System under the ISO 9001 Standard, in the areas of development, manufacture, marketing and technical assistance service of PVC flexible and PVC rigid compounds.

With the acquisition of INDUSTRIAS PLASTICAS AUSTRALES S.A, a new production plant is incorporated, located in the City of Ushuaia, Province of Tierra del Fuego, thus increasing our production capacity of compounds.

Our Chemicals Division began the production of plasticizers which allows us to self-sufficiently supply our compound manufacturing plants of PVC and also produce top quality compounds for the internal and external market. Throughout these years we have reached countries like : Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador , Peru, Mexico, USA , El Salvador, Costa Rica ; Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Netherlands , Germany, Spain ,Italy, Portugal , Greece, Turkey , Russia , Ukraine , Bulgaria , Croatia , Romania, Egypt , United Arab Emirates , Syria ,South Africa and Israel.

We began expanding our warehouses of raw material and finished product both at the San Martin plant as well as at the Ushuaia plant, building there a modern 2,000m2 warehouse.

The third generation of the family started a process of technological upgrade and the development of new businesses and markets.

We inaugurated our logistics centre in San Martín to unify polymer logistics and started the construction of a new production plant in Ushuaia, expanding our production capacity by 50%.

Nowadays we maintain our leadership based on a firm growth and a continuous improvement of our processes, based on our quality policies and oriented to achieve the full satisfaction of our customers.

In our Ushuaia Plant, we inaugurated a new 1000m2 warehouse. There we installed a high productivity line for the manufacture of PVC compounds. It is fully automated, from the storage of raw material in silos to the forming of the finished product pallets, which are robotised.

The new hall, with highly trained personnel, allows us to increase the plant's production capacity by 50%.

We also succeeded in starting up the new engineering plastics plant in our industrial site in San Martín, starting with Prinpex cross-linked polyethylene.

Thinking about our future as a company, we bought a 5-hectare plot of land in the Spegazzini Industrial Park and started the earthmoving work to locate our future industrial premises there.

We celebrate our first 75 years of life.

RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION WITH POSITIVE IMPACT
We believe that the sustainable development of our environment and, in particular, of the communities where we operate, requires us to take the utmost care of the environment and create opportunities with social value.

We generate and supply products in a responsible manner and work permanently to build a close relationship with our employees, customers and suppliers.

We have developed a Sustainability Strategy establishing the fundamental axes and the relevant issues that we seek to address from the organisation in this path in which we want to generate a positive impact.

The strategy was shaped on the the basis of the three vertical axes of sustainability, distinguishing an environmental axis, a social axis, and an axis linked to the organisation's corporate governance.

We are making progress in linking the aspects that are relevant to our company's business model with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN).

In this regard, and for this first stage, we are focusing on 4 of the 17 goals.
