Grupo Comeca Argentina: history and business transformations

4 years ago it was born from the merger between Inesa Argentina and Envases Hacer.

Grupo Comeca Argentina began to operate under its name in January 2019, when the merger between Inesa Argentina and Envases Hacer occurred.

The company has almost 700 collaborators in 5 plants in different parts of the country: Monte Chingolo, Avellaneda, Pilar, San Juan, and Mendoza.

The most collaborators are in Pilar, with 36% of its total, and the lowest in San Juan, with 2%.

Among its packaging solutions by product categories and markets are:

1. Fruits and vegetables

2. Meats

3. Aerosol sprays

4. Edible oils

5. Airtight lids

6. Dairy products

7. Paintings

8. Fishing containers

The company’s origins date back to 1899, when Centenera began manufacturing tin containers. Years later, a series of transformations took place both in its name and in its product portfolio.

Later it became Corandes, and in 1995 the share package changed, creating Inesa Argentina. From that year on, it began an ambitious process of growth.

In 1998, the aerosol plant was inaugurated in the province of San Juan.

In 2003, a plant was inaugurated to supply Mendoza's agricultural, dairy, and edible oil industries and its surroundings.

In 2007, the Crown Packaging Argentina operation in Pilar was acquired, consolidating its leadership in metal containers in all its domestic applications. In addition, this year, the central offices were moved to Pilar.

In 2017, Grupo Comeca acquired the shares of Inesa Argentina and, in 2019, proceeded with the merger with Envases Hacer, already previously developed by the Group in 2011.

Nowadays, Grupo Comeca Argentina is the leading company in the manufacture and sale of tin cans, with the most extensive offer in its country.
