The strengthening of the company, which at the time serving customers and a few Costa Rican Central, allowed tackling new business unit. Founded in 1987, Packaging Santa Ana, to meet the corrugated market, also in Costa Rica. Over the years, the Group has grown from its home base in Costa Rica, to become a major international manufacturer with operations from Mexico to Peru.
