Driving Innovation and Sustainability in Polymer Transformation

Rapid progress in polymer science and technology has spurred the utilization of plastic and polymer composites across diverse industries. With rising demand for environmentally friendly solutions, there is a heightened focus on sustainable practices in polymer transformation.

At the forefront of these sustainable advancements stands Unipac, part of the esteemed Jacto Group, a leader in complete polymer transformation with an illustrious 47-year legacy.

Unipac’s mission is to deliver groundbreaking solutions that seamlessly integrate services and technologies for polymer applications, enhancing overall value within the industry’s intricate supply chain.

“We strive to deeply understand our clients’ requirements and consistently deliver exceptional products and services,” says Gabriel Gonçalves, president at Unipac.

Unipac employs six types of polymer transformation processes, including blow molding for capacities up to 1000 liters, injection molding, structural injection molding, sheet extrusion, thermoforming, and rotational molding. This diversity in polymer processing techniques, coupled with penchant for innovation, empowers Unipac to craft bespoke, high-quality products tailored to a multitude of industries, including automotive, packaging, logistics, and healthcare.

Acknowledging the need to align operational strategies and capacities with evolving customer demands and the broader market, Unipac demonstrates adaptability and extensive reach through its five strategically located manufacturing units serving distinct market segments.

At the heart of the company’s forward-looking approach is the establishment of a research center dedicated to pioneering advanced materials and processes.

This state-of-the-art facility integrates cutting-edge digital technologies into the product development, often collaborating with other research and innovation centers. Unipac’s dedication to material development has yielded innovative solutions, strengthening its competitive advantage and delivering substantial benefits to clients. With resolute commitment to environmental stewardship, Unipac has designed these materials with a focus on sustainability, striving to reduce costs while minimizing impact on both the business and the natural environment.

Unipac’s relationships with clients are exemplified by the supply relationship management (SRM) program, founded on three fundamental pillars. The first pillar focuses on aligning production capacity in a mutually beneficial manner with customers. This encompasses aspects like logistics, supply chain optimization, factory productivity enhancement, and fostering innovation. The second pillar centers on proactively sharing market trends and supplier information to equip clients with valuable insights, bolstering their ability to make informed strategic decisions.

Innovation takes center stage in the third pillar, with Unipac committing significant financial resources to foster innovation in collaboration with clients, emphasizing the fulfillment of their distinct requirements and cultivating a long-term vision. This prioritizes sustainable, enduring partnerships over short-term gains and underscores the collaborative nature of its work involving multiple teams in nurturing critical client relationships.

The three key pillars are instrumental in specifying objectives, identifying challenges, determining priorities, and establishing project timelines. The responsibility for executing these initiatives rests with designated individuals or teams, supported by dedicated software to streamline the entire process. This approach extends beyond the SRM program, fostering collaboration between suppliers, purchasers, and sellers to gain comprehensive insights into the entirety of the supply chain.

Unipac maintains its prominent position in the polymer transformation sector through steadfast dedication to sustainable material advancement, backed by a state-of-the-art research facility. Clients can depend on Unipac to consistently adapt and deliver customized, high-quality products that align with changing needs.
