Performance and technologies
We constantly invest in equipment and technologies in our factory and laboratory, always seeking the satisfaction of our customers, with our technical performance recognized inside and outside Brazil.
History
Almost half a century of existence is time capable of gathering countless experiences. Subjective capital and also concrete capital that enriches us. The countless hits, the many mistakes; conquests or difficulties, everything is present in what we are today. Everything served to improve us.
During all this time, we have strongly developed our corporate values and the technical qualification of our team.
We have strengthened our relationship with the community and we have not stopped thinking, even for a minute, about what to do so that Canguru can be even better in all aspects of its life.
For us, time is the wind that blows in our sails. The future, this is the world that is made now.

The beginning, our first steps. It is interesting to see how our mascot Canguru was in the 70's. Just as it is fundamental to recognize its importance throughout these years in which it represents us. Your image is an institutional value that we preserve with great affection.
Canguru leaves the scene, but not our hearts, of course. This version of the brand does not feature our dear comrade, who goes on vacation for a short time, returning later. The company goes through many changes, conquers the market, and establishes a solid position in the packaging sector. A lot of effort and teamwork. As always.
Look who's back: Canguru. More mature and colorful so to speak. Our brand is modernized within a context of many advances made by Canguru. Our mascot returns with a new look, representing our technical and organizational competence with its colors and agile movements.
Our today has never looked so much like the future. This is because we breathe new air and our days have been full of advances. Our spirit is renewed with each movement. We count almost 50 years on the road and start a new stretch again. It has been like this all this time. Cycles, stretches, ascents, descents, long plains. Always with the wind in our face, refreshing our spirit, and looking at the horizon for much more.
