Colombia: A Manufacturing and Export Hub for Nearshoring Plastic Components

The Molding S.A.S. plant in Cota, Cundinamarca sits 20 minutes from El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá — Latin America's leading air cargo hub — strategically positioning us as a plastic components supplier to the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries throughout the Americas.

Colombia has active free trade agreements with the United States (US–Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement), Mexico (Colombia–Mexico FTA / Pacific Alliance), the European Union, the Andean Community (Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia), Chile and other key markets. This allows our international customers to import plastic spheres with significant duty preferences.

We are also the only manufacturer of hollow plastic roll-on balls in Colombia — the company was founded precisely to substitute imports of this component, as profiled by the trade magazine El Empaque. For procurement teams evaluating a nearshoring alternative to suppliers in China, India and other origins, that means transit times measured in days instead of weeks, lower MOQs, support in English and Spanish within your business hours, and a plant you can audit in person with a short flight from any capital in the Americas.
