Every day people get medical treatments all over the world and needless to say it is very important that these treatments are done in a protected and sterile environment. The packaging of medical devices used during the procedures play an integral role.

Whatever comes into the kp factory from abroad, I’m responsible for it. I work with food and consumer products, and everything from the raw materials we use to make the products to machine parts passed across my desk. I love it. I can get anything we need from anywhere in the world.

I joined kp in 2004 as an apprentice chemical assistant in one of the labs, straight from school. Seventeen years later and I’m responsible for our entire pharmaceutical product line, products that are produced all over the world in 14 of our factories.

I was born and raised here in Totoral, where the kp plant is. It’s a small town – about 7000 people – and there aren’t many opportunities. I went to college in Cordoba, Argentina’s second city, but it was too far from home and I couldn’t leave my family for so long.

Sustainability has been a priority at kp for many years, but we’re committed to moving the dial faster – for the sake of our business and stakeholders, and because it’s imperative we address the impending climate crisis and play our part in creating a more just and equitable society.

Our world economy is currently only approximately 9% circular, which means nearly all the resources used are not recycled back into the economy after use. Therefore, contributing to a circular economy and dealing with raw materials in a respectful way is key to a good stewardship of the environment. With our vision “Sustainable protection for everyday needs” kp aims to address good stewardship practices through our products.
