Kuresa is a Peruvian-Swiss manufacturer of adhesive tapes and self-adhesive labels, founded in 1965 in Lima, Peru. The company is best known as the producer of the Pegafan tape brand and as the exclusive distributor of Pilot writing instruments in Peru and Colombia since the mid-1980s. Kuresa operates a manufacturing plant in Huachipa, Lima, and exports to more than 15 countries across Latin America, the United States and Europe. [1] [2]
Design and History
Kuresa was founded in 1965 as a producer of adhesive tapes, beginning operations with a small coating machine nicknamed “the bicycle” because of the simplicity of its technology. [3] The company began investing in modern equipment in the late 1970s. In the early 1980s, following a shift in Peruvian government policy toward importation that brought foreign tape brands into the local market, Kuresa sought a technology partner and acquired technology from the Swiss company Cellux. [3] This Swiss connection, established around 1980, is what makes Kuresa a Peruvian-Swiss enterprise today. [4]
The company’s Pegafan tape brand grew into one of the largest in Peru. [3] Kuresa expanded into self-adhesive label production in the late 1990s, and in 2011 inaugurated a new 23,000-square-meter facility in Huachipa, Lima, which the company described as the best plant of its type in the Andean region.
