Comments: The largest ink manufacturer in Mexico and Central America, Sanchez SA de CV is headquartered in Mexico City, with subsidiaries in El Salvador (Sanchez Centroamerica), Guatemala (Tintas Sanchez Guatemala SA), Costa Rica and Colombia (Grupo Sanchez Colombia). Ernesto J. Sanchez, managing director of Sanchez SA de CV, said that the Mexican economy is hampering growth in the nation.
“Although experiencing a final quarter with a little more economic activity, and finishing the year with GPD growth of 2.5%, a positive number compared with the previous year of 2.1%, we are still far from seeing the growth Mexico needs,” Sanchez said.
Currency devaluation is affecting the peso, which dropped in value 15% compared to the US dollar during 2015, although lower values have mixed results.
“At the end of last year and the beginning of this one, our currency suffered a severe devaluation against the US dollar, increasing our raw material cost, but giving Sanchez an advantage against imported inks,” Sanchez noted.
In spite of the economy and currency changes, Sanchez had a successful year in 2015.
“Despite our slow economy, Sanchez was able to keep the volume of our sales in kilos, and increased the value of our sales in local currency,” Sanchez said. “We experienced good results in water-based inks and in screenprinting inks in all the markets we serve. In Central America, our subsidiary in El Salvador keeps showing good results and is exporting products to other countries in the area.”
