Here’s a summary of the case we developed in collaboration with ExxonMobil:
The Mexican company Salaverry, based in Tlaxcala and with over 30 years in the packaging industry, has taken a significant step toward innovation and sustainability in the manufacturing of stretch hood films for industrial packaging. In collaboration with ExxonMobil, Innova Group (Spain), and the local distributor Materias Primas, they developed a new formulation that optimizes packaging performance, simplifies product design, and reduces environmental impact.
The challenge: performance with simplicity
Historically, Salaverry used complex formulations with multiple resins, including EVA, which resulted in higher costs, greater risk of errors, and production delays due to supply issues. Their goal was clear: improve the mechanical properties of the stretch hood film without compromising operational efficiency.
The solution: high-performance resins and recycled content
The solution was to replace a seven-resin structure with a monomaterial structure using ExxonMobil’s new resins Exceed™ Tough+ m 0512 and Exceed™ Flow m 1020. This combination not only eliminated the need for EVA but also allowed them to:
Key results
A collaboration that drives change
This case is a clear example of how strategic collaboration between manufacturers, technology providers, and local distributors can generate more efficient, competitive, and sustainable solutions for the packaging industry. In the words of Ricardo González from Materias Primas:
“Salaverry was looking to innovate, and with ExxonMobil we were able to develop and optimize a high-performance stretch hood solution that reduces costs and improves results.”
