About This Brand
Amanco was established in 1991 as a brand within the Latin American building and infrastructure operations that would eventually become part of Orbia (formerly Mexichem). The brand emerged from the consolidation of several regional plastic pipe manufacturers across Latin America, creating a unified identity for high-quality piping solutions throughout the continent. Today Amanco is one of the most recognized construction material brands in Latin America, with manufacturing facilities in multiple countries and products installed in millions of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The brand's product line spans the full spectrum of plastic piping applications: PVC pipes and fittings for cold water distribution and sewage, CPVC systems rated for hot water up to 80 degrees Celsius, PPR (polypropylene random copolymer) pipes for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, corrugated pipes for underground drainage, and electrical conduit for wiring protection. Amanco also produces geosynthetics and infrastructure solutions for large civil works including highway drainage, landfill containment, and water treatment facilities. The brand's technical support team provides hydraulic design assistance to engineers and architects, helping specify the correct pipe diameters, materials, and connection methods for each project. In Brazil, Amanco's primary market, the brand competes with Tigre, Krona, and Fortlev, differentiating through product innovation, particularly in hot water systems and large-diameter infrastructure pipes. Amanco maintains stringent quality control processes and holds certifications from INMETRO (Brazil), ICONTEC (Colombia), and other national standards bodies across Latin America.
