We are not only a plastics resin distributor, but also offer logistical support, professional and technical consulting and application advantages. We are constantly evaluating other lines of products and future business opportunities.
With an expertise and experience in the Latin American market, several firms have established strategic alliances with us in order to penetrate other industries and markets.
In the past 20 years, Quimtec LP has grown rapidly in part by providing technical support to our customers. We provide our customers with value by recommending new techniques, processes, innovative products and market trends.
In order to provide our customers with value we reduce their costs along the entire supply chain Quimtec LP negotiates with our resin producers, steamship lines, warehouses, freight forwarder and insurance companies for the best terms and conditions; therefore reducing our customers’ costs along the entire supply chain.

The Distribution Cycle in a nutshell
- Quimtec LP buys for its clients bagged material or hopper car quantities of prime resin.
- Quimtec LP works only with state of the art packaging and palletizing facilities.
- Quimtec LP contracts for storage of packaged / palletized resin in area warehouses.
- Quimtec LP arranges for packaged resin to be loaded into 20 & 40 foot containers.
- Quimtec LP retains on-site a freight forwarding company to prepare export documentations and book vessels.
- Motor freight pick-up and delivery to the Port of Houston for loading and shipping by steamship on pre-negotiated preferred shipping contracts is arranged.
- Quimtec LP then tracks the cargo and handles documentation from “door to door” to the end user.
- Quimtec LP monitors credit exposures and collects from its customers within the credit limits that are established by Quimtec LP with each account.
Why an investment in Plastics
Well, as quoted from Forbes Investment Guides states all the regions of the world that stoke industrial demand for bulk chemicals will be growing. There will be sustained growth in these sectors for many years to come generating a lot of liquidity. Over the past three years global ethylene demand has grown at 5% per year and in that same time the price of ethylene has gone up 20 % per year.
Quimtec’s collection rate has historically run higher than US domestic rates. This is the direct result of many years of experience in the market, close customer relationships and knowledge of the region. A tight control on credit limits and exposure is maintained, coupled with checks and balances.
