When Alejandro Herrera established his food packaging distribution business in Santiago in 2022, he faced mounting pressure from restaurant chains demanding more affordable yet durable foil containers. Local Chilean manufacturers couldn't match both his quality requirements and target price points, while European imports carried prohibitive shipping costs.
After months of disappointing negotiations with regional suppliers, Alejandro discovered Lauvacs through Alibaba's verified supplier portal. The Chinese manufacturer's profile stood out with ISO-certified production facilities and FDA-compliant material specifications - crucial for his clients in Chile's growing ready-meal sector. What convinced him to proceed was Lauvacs' willingness to customize container dimensions and provide samples within 10 working days.
The initial trial shipment of 50,000 units arrived at Valparaíso Port with perfect seals and consistent thickness - a stark contrast to the irregular edges from his previous Central American supplier. Lauvacs' anodized aluminum foil containers maintained structural integrity during Chile's extended frozen food transport routes while costing 22% less than comparable German products.
Within eight months, Alejandro's business grew to supply three major supermarket chains, attributing 40% of this expansion to reliable container supply from Lauvacs. The Chinese manufacturer's flexible MOQs allowed him to test new product lines without excessive inventory risk. Today, his company maintains a steady monthly order of 80,000 units, with plans to introduce Lauvacs' eco-friendly foil range to Chile's sustainability-focused restaurants next quarter.
