1980
We were born from a joint venture between British American Tobacco and the defunct Hercules Inc. In April of that year, in the city of Varginha (MG), we turned the first key, of the first machine, with the first members of the team. The feeling of believing and the decision to make it work was what drove us since that moment
1988
We opened another production line, also in Varginha (MG). We increased our production capacity, the number of employees and the physical structure. Our challenges and the responsibility to continue growing in a healthy way have also increased.
1995
With 15 years of experience in the market, Polo Films was incorporated by the Unigel Group. At that time, our company had already expanded its production and was working at full steam with 4 Double Bubble lines.
2000
We expand our borders. We inaugurated the operation of the first Tenter-Frame Line (flat process) in Montenegro (RS). We also expanded our operations, markets, applications and culture. New collaborators joined and started to develop their trajectories.
2005
We expanded our capacity with the second high-speed Tenter-Frame Line in Montenegro (RS). Can you imagine how many lives we directly influence? How many people have dedicated themselves daily to doing their best and delivering maximum value to our customers? We knew that this care would provide us with more lasting relationships.
2008
We started operating our third line in Montenegro (RS), increasing the unit's nominal production capacity to 78,000 t / year.
2009
We have reached a turning point in our history. We concentrated our operations on the most modern site in Montenegro (RS) and said goodbye to the city where we were born and which welcomed us with such affection.
2011
We updated our production lines by investing in new technologies and cutting-edge equipment. The result could not be different: we optimized processes, gained more quality and speed to continue meeting the demands that were growing every day.
2017
Geribá Investimentos incorporated Polo Films bringing a new lease of life and generating a renewed focus on business with the introduction of a modern management model and a long-term vision.
2019
The focus on people has allowed us to move forward in a fantastic way. We encourage the development of leaders and all our employees, making them more and more prepared. We have also modernized our brand, expressing seriousness, quality, dynamism and innovation. A brand associated with the unwavering belief that people make a difference.
2020
We completed 40 years of stories with many learnings and achievements. Everything we have achieved to date has only been possible, because we have a team of excellence, in addition to customers, partners and suppliers with whom we join forces, taking the best products with quality and differentiated service, registered trademarks of Polo Films. And we know that there is still a lot of history ahead.
