ABOUT TERPHANE
Terphane pioneers through the previous boundaries of film performance to meet our customer’s challenges and new business opportunities. This is Terphane’s focus, and has been since our founding.

Terphane is vertically integrated, creating its own resins for specialized and highly diverse products. Terphane’s wide array of PET films uniquely meet the demands of a changing flexible packaging market.
With plants in Brazil and the United States, we are positioned to supply customers on a world-wide basis. Terphane’s production capacity is approximately 65 thousand tons per year. Our second significant expansion in recent years is in the works, to support our growing business and that of Terphane customers. Ultimately, our purpose is to overcome challenging obstacles in a sustainable way through strong methodologies, adding value in everything we do. We strive to make a relevant impact where our customers need us most, growing our wide range of products.
