Sansuy S.A. Indústria de Plásticos is a Brazilian company founded on May 9, 1966, in São Paulo, originally focused on manufacturing high-pressure hoses for agricultural spraying. In its early years, it operated as a limited liability company and, in 1968, was converted into a corporation, bringing together dozens of individual shareholders. Throughout the 1970s, it introduced reinforced PVC synthetic tarpaulins to the Brazilian market under the Vinilona brand and developed inflatable warehouses, marking the diversification of its portfolio. In 1975, it completed construction of its industrial plant in Embu das Artes (SP), equipped with Japanese PVC calendering technology, enabling large-scale production of flexible laminates and consolidating its leadership in road cargo covers. In 1980, the company expanded its manufacturing base with the installation of the Camaçari (BA) unit in the local petrochemical complex and, in the same year, became a publicly held company, with its shares traded on Brazilian exchanges, currently represented by the tickers SNSY3, SNSY5 and SNSY6 on B3.

Sansuy’s trajectory includes internationalization moves, strategic partnerships and corporate restructurings. In 1982, it began exporting flexible PVC laminates to the United States, aimed at the production of films for lining pools, walls and furniture, paving the way for operations on several continents. The company entered into significant joint ventures, such as the establishment of Kanaflex Indústria de Plásticos in 1973, in partnership with Japanese company Totaku Industries Inc., focused on producing flexible PVC suction hoses, and later the creation of Sansuy Benecke Ltda. in 1998, in association with German company Benecke Kaliko AG, to supply the automotive industry. In the following decades, it expanded capacity in Embu das Artes and Camaçari, restructured its indebtedness and, in 1994, merged the former Sansuy S.A. into Sansuy do Nordeste, unifying operations under the current corporate name. More recently, in 2019, it acquired Viniartefatos Comércio, Importação e Exportação Ltda. and Sanbio Construções e Soluções Ambientais Ltda., integrating industrial assets and service capabilities for assembling manufactured products such as warehouses and biodigesters.

Sansuy’s business model is centered on the production and commercialization of simple and reinforced flexible PVC laminates, as well as the manufacture of plastic pipes and ducts, with a focus on solutions for multiple production chains. The organization reports two main operating segments: PVC Plastic Laminates and Manufactured Products and Plastic Pipes. In 2024, the laminates and manufactured products segment accounted for around 70% of consolidated net revenue, while the plastic pipes line represented approximately 30%, highlighting the predominance of laminates in revenue generation. The company operates in an integrated manner across the entire PVC transformation chain into laminates and finished products, and also, through its subsidiaries, in the extrusion of corrugated pipes and hoses aimed at infrastructure and industry. Its portfolio of more than 3,000 clients across various sectors provides a high degree of demand diversification and reduces revenue concentration among a few buyers.

In PVC laminates and manufactured products, Sansuy supplies segments such as environmental preservation, agribusiness, road cargo transportation, civil construction, mining, energy, sanitation, and the automotive, footwear and furniture industries, as well as leisure and visual communication applications. The production process begins with calendering, which generates unreinforced PVC films used in adhesive tapes, pool liners and other products. These films can be bonded to high-tenacity polyester fabrics in coating lines, resulting in reinforced laminates with different degrees of flexibility, suitable for the manufacture of Vinilona tarpaulins, truck covers, siders, covers for structured warehouses, waterproofing membranes, tanks for storage and transport of liquids, aquaculture ponds, biodigesters, ventilation ducts and visual communication solutions. The laminates are then converted into finished products by cutting, welding, sewing and stamping, following technical specifications and standards such as ABNT, ASTM, DIN and JIS, enabling the company to meet different requirements for mechanical performance, impermeability and durability.

In the plastic pipes segment, operated mainly by subsidiary Kanaflex S.A. Indústria de Plásticos, the company manufactures flexible PVC hoses and corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes in Embu das Artes. The hoses are produced by extrusion in spiral profiles, combining rigid and flexible spirals to provide mechanical strength and flexibility, with more than 50 models targeted at industry, agricultural implements, spraying, suction and discharge of products in sectors such as construction, agribusiness, food, mining and petrochemicals. The corrugated HDPE pipes, with internal diameters of up to 3,000 mm, are aimed at infrastructure applications in stormwater drainage, sewage systems, protection of electrical and fiber optic cables, telecommunications, highways, ports, airports and railways. These products are recognized for their lower weight compared to traditional technologies, higher hydraulic efficiency and durability, and are included in reference tables such as Sicro and Sinapi, and are also approved by power and telecom utilities across the country for underground cable protection and drainage systems.

Distribution of Sansuy products combines direct sales and the work of commercial representatives. Direct sales are concentrated on large industrial clients and infrastructure projects, while specialized representatives serve niches such as the footwear industry and the bus body manufacturing segment. The company also uses subsidiary Viniartefatos Comércio to sell manufactured products, especially assembled structures, warehouses and biodigestion systems. Delivery logistics are outsourced, using carriers to ship laminates in rolls, pipes, hoses and finished products in formats suited to handling and installation. This commercial structure ensures a presence throughout Brazil and supports exports, mainly to South American countries, serving both recurring demand and large-scale, project-specific orders.

Geographically, Sansuy concentrates its sales of laminates and manufactured products in Brazil’s Southeast and South regions, which together account for more than 70% of domestic revenue in this segment. In 2024, about 90% of consolidated revenue was generated in the domestic market, while approximately 9% to 10% came from exports of laminates and pipes to other countries, mostly in South America. Kanaflex has a similar profile, with predominant sales in the Southeast and South, complemented by relevant participation in the Northeast and other Brazilian regions, as well as a smaller share of exports. The manufacturing presence in Embu das Artes and Camaçari, close to industrial consumer centers and the petrochemical complex, supports access to raw materials such as PVC, plasticizers, polyester yarns and additives, while also enabling optimization of logistics costs and delivery times.

Sansuy’s operations are subject to environmental and industrial safety regulations due to the use of chemical inputs and thermoplastic transformation processes. The company states that it maintains all the licenses and authorizations required by agencies such as CETESB, IBAMA, the Fire Department, the Civil Police and the Federal Police, and continuously monitors the conditions required to renew these documents. Its quality management system is certified under IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015, reflecting the requirements of sectors such as automotive and general industry. Regarding environmental, social and governance practices, the company is in the process of structuring its ESG strategy and does not yet have a dedicated public report, but it already performs an internal inventory of greenhouse gas emissions based on the GHG Protocol, covering scopes 1 and 2, and adopts internal policies related to ethics, social and environmental responsibility, use of recyclable materials where feasible, and prioritization of suppliers that act responsibly toward the environment. Sansuy’s common and preferred shares, traded on B3 under the codes SNSY3, SNSY5 and SNSY6, represent participation in a diversified industrial group in the plastics value chain, with strong exposure to demand from productive and infrastructure sectors.
