FORMATEX was founded in 2014 in a warehouse in Colonia Atlas. Today we are still in the same area, but we expanded to a larger and more spacious location to have a greater number of rolls in stock available for our customers. We also have other smaller offices in Mexico City and Monterrey.

Thanks to the relocation of the company, the increase in personnel, catalogs and orders, we have managed to expand the market, services and improve the level of production. Due to this, greater work efficiency has been obtained to always achieve satisfactory results for our clients.

Of course we continue to renew and update ourselves every day to continue progressing our services as a business.

Now, we will explain how the company is divided, since we have different areas and each one carries out different tasks.

On the ground floor of the office there are purchases, imports, human resources, IT, billing, administration, service and customer service.

The purchasing department acquires products and manages the services necessary for the proper functioning of the company. Quote and supply stationery, packaging quotes, warehouse furniture, premises rental, procedures, licenses, permits, insurance, bank reconciliation, payment to suppliers and even organization of events.
