Grupo Orbis is a Colombia-based industrial conglomerate specializing in paints, coatings, chemicals, and packaging solutions. With over 90 years of experience, the company has established itself as a leader in the Latin American market through its diversified portfolio of businesses. Its flagship brand, Pintuco, is widely recognized for its decorative and industrial paints, while other divisions such as Andercol and Poliquim provide chemical inputs and resins for various manufacturing industries. Grupo Orbis also operates O-tek, which produces infrastructure solutions including fiberglass-reinforced pipelines, and Mundo Verde, a packaging subsidiary offering sustainable solutions for food and industrial applications.
The company emphasizes innovation, quality, and environmental sustainability, investing heavily in R&D to develop high-performance products that meet evolving market demands. Prior to being acquired by AkzoNobel in 2022, Grupo Orbis maintained operations in several Latin American countries including Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. The acquisition has allowed AkzoNobel to strengthen its footprint in the region, benefiting from Grupo Orbis's strong distribution network, local expertise, and established customer base.
