Terphane About us
Terphane utilizes innovative and disruptive technologies that optimize the production of biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) films. The films are manufactured via a vertical chain from resin creation to specialty film coatings. Terphane’s films are unique and meet the most diverse market demands, including tailor-made products for specific applications.
Investing in improvement, enhanced technologies, and updated professionals is in Terphane’s DNA. Thanks to recent investments, its production capacity at the plant located in Cabo de Santo Agostinho (PE) is approximately 65 thousand tons per year. Metallization technology, unique in the Americas, is another competitive advantage.
Our team of specialists is always ready to listen to the market needs – and, if possible, anticipate them – and employ high-tech resources to develop films that add value to the product and brand. Therefore, we guarantee the sustainable growth of our direct and indirect customer business.
Terphane films feature high performance throughout the product’s lifecycle, while also respecting the specificities of each client, and its entire chain. We work mainly in the flexible packaging market by delivering polyester films that enable safe packaging at a lower environmental impact. Terphane’s product lines can also benefit many industrial applications.
All developments go through our state-of-the-art test laboratory. Deliveries are efficient and fast thanks to an exclusive reverse logistics system that reuses plastic packings. Terphane’s driving force is full market satisfaction and total engagement to all links in the value chain. We strive to deliver innovative and competitive solutions that create value for everyone.
We operate globally from two industrial parks (the United States and Brazil), and with sales representatives and distributors on five continents. Terphane maintains its commitment to society and the environment, offering differentiated and innovative technologies that guarantee a unique performance in polyester films. This stance makes it a market leader in PET (polyester) films and an important global player in the flexible packaging market.
All of Terphane’s products come the seal of the Oben Group. “Terphane’s commitment is not just to the market.
