Comments: Headquartered in Mexico City, Sanchez SA de CV is the largest ink manufacturer in Mexico and Central America. The company has a sizable presence in Latin America, with subsidiaries located in Colombia (Grupo Sanchez Colombia), Costa Rica (Grupo Sanchez Artes Graficas), El Salvador (Sanchez Centroamerica), Guatemala (Tintas Sanchez Guatemala), Peru (Grupo Sanchez Peru), and Ecuador (Grupo Sanchez Ecuador).
Founded in 1930, Sanchez SA de CV is a family-owned ink manufacturer, and looks to continue to grow in the region as the fourth generation of family members are taking key roles in the company.
“As part of the generational transition in our organization, the four members of the fourth generation of our family have been promoted to directors,” said Ernesto J. Sanchez, managing director of Sanchez SA de CV. “Diego, Daniel, Bernardo and Ernesto are now part of our key executives. We are sure that with their dedication to the company, the continuity of our 93-year-old corporation is in good hands.”
As for 2022-23, Sanchez SA de CV had a very good year, rebounding along with the rest of the Mexican economy while the raw material situation began to ease.
“Our economy grew 3.1% during 2022, a number still short for our needs,” Sanchez reported. “We must remember that our economy declined 8.2% during the pandemic in 2020. Despite some challenges we managed to grow, with better-than-expected results in markets like sheetfed inks, lamination adhesives, and solvent-based inks for flexo and gravure.
“The Sánchez subsidiaries in Latin America had good performances during 2022, helping the solidification of our group in this important region,” he added. “It is still part of our plan to grow in those countries. The present year, 2023, shows some healthy growth, as the country is focusing more and more on next year’s presidential election.”
