History

We began operations with the commissioning of Polypropylene Plant 1, with Unipol technology. In 2025, we celebrate 35 years!

Its initial capacity was 120,000 metric tons per year. Currently it is 250,000 metric tons per year.

We began operations of the propylene separation unit "Splitter", which enabled us to start sourcing national raw materials, positively impacting growth and reliability in resin supply to our clients.

We expanded the plant with Novolen technology, increasing its capacity by 200,000 metric tons per year.

We became part of the Ecopetrol Business Group.

We expanded Plant 1 by 50,000 metric tons per year. The plant's capacity reaches 450,000 metric tons per year.

We expanded Plant 2 by 50,000 metric tons per year. The plant reaches a capacity of 500,000 metric tons per year.

Propilco becomes Esenttia, a company vital to the industry and essential to life. We integrate our products and subsidiaries (Comai) into three product lines that constitute a comprehensive offering: Polypropylene, Polyethylene, and Masterbatch.

We created Esenttia Resinas Perú. We crossed borders with the creation of our first office abroad to continue contributing to sustainable development in Latin America.

We donated six docks made from plastic waste around Manga Bay in Cartagena.

We developed a social entrepreneurship initiative, a collection center for recyclable waste where, in an organized manner and highlighting the recycler's craft, waste is managed for the construction of elements such as houses, bridges, and recreational spaces for children.

In alliance with the Mayor's Office of Cartagena, we donated two signs made from recycled plastic to the city, located in two areas: on Santander Avenue, near Marbella, and on the Perimetral road; sending a message of plastic waste recycling and social inclusion.

We fulfilled the dream of families by donating 10 houses made from recycled plastic for 10 employees of our contractor firms. Thus we recovered approximately 29,000 kg of plastic waste.

We provided comfort to Cartagena's mass transit system. We donated recycled plastic pergolas that support the roof of all stations in the TransCaribe integrated mass transit system.

Our company name changes: we go from being Polipropileno del Caribe S. A. to Esenttia S. A.

First Recycled Plastic Resins Plant: in Tocancipá, we inaugurated our first recycled plastic resins plant, the largest in Colombia and the most sophisticated in Latin America. A milestone in Colombia! Its initial annual production capacity is 12,000 tons and benefits more than 10,000 professional recyclers.
