Rheem: over 60 years of history

In the words of our National Sales Sub Manager, Jorge Valdivia, “acknowledging the opportunity and the lack of suppliers at a national scale [of plastic packaging for industries] was the starting point” of a long road that led us to become undisputed leaders in the southern hemisphere.

We were born in 1959 to provide metallic packaging for the lubricants area. Today, thanks to our many years of dedication and innovation, we have broadened our offer and established commercial bonds with benchmark companies in diverse industries. 

In the 90’s, with our offer of metallic packaging already consolidated, requirements and materials began to change. Plastic packaging became a reality that arrived to stay. This development was mostly prompted by the kind of products commercialized back then, along with the technological breakthroughs that made them possible.  

In the words of our National Sales Sub Manager, Jorge Valdivia, “acknowledging the opportunity and the lack of suppliers at a national scale [of plastic packaging for industries] was the starting point” of a long road that led us to become undisputed leaders in the southern hemisphere, with vanguard and technology as strategic pillars.  

The goal has been the same from our very first steps: to offer true solutions to our clients, adding value to their products and guaranteeing their operative continuity. 

At Rheem, we came to understand the importance of having a qualified, experienced and motivated team, “able to lever up and lead sustainable growth in time”. In the words of Álvaro Godoy, our Sales Manager, these have been the foundations of our growth and consolidation.

Understanding our clients’ needs has been essential in this journey. We have grown with them, adjusting to their markets’ dynamism and flexibility, and providing innovative products and solutions. That’s how we have become strategic partners. 

Nowadays at Rheem we value our history and experience, but we look towards the future. And we go the distance. In the words of Jorge Valdivia, “we trust in a planned and sustainable growth”, analyzing international markets and enhancing our operations at a south American scale, without losing the quality and commitment that have become our trademark and with a clear focus on our products, as always.
