Inversiones Selva, C.A. – Clase B

What it is

Inversiones Selva began operations on 12 November 1963, making disposable cups, and over the following decades built itself into one of the most important thermoforming and plastic-injection companies in Venezuela.

The company manufactures, distributes and sells plastic products and containers for household, commercial and industrial use — a range that spans thermoformed polystyrene cups and plates, polypropylene injected cups, food trays in multiple resins, plastic straws, stirrers and cutlery. Products are sold under the Selva, Selva Flexy and Selva Kristall brands, and are exported to Latin America, the Caribbean and the United States.

The company also has a meaningful share of the market for transparent food containers and expanded-polystyrene (foam) products, and operates its own printing lines — in plastic and paper — so it can brand packaging for clients’ own labels, with technical development support included.

Who owns it

Grupo Phoenix was constituted in 1999 through the integration of leading companies from Colombia — Multidimensionales and Plasdecol — and from Venezuela, including Inversiones Selva, Vasos Venezolanos, Venco and Estireno del Zulia. Inversiones Selva is thus the Venezuelan anchor of what became a multinational packaging group.

In September 2021, Grupo Phoenix joined the TekniPlex Inc. family, bringing its expertise across more than 20 vertical markets including dairy, beverages, cosmetics and household cleaning. The ultimate controlling shareholder of Inversiones Selva is therefore TekniPlex Inc., a US-based materials-science company — though the exact ownership percentage at the listed-entity level is not disclosed in available sources, and the public free float of SV.B shares is not published by the BVC or SUNAVAL.

Who runs it

Jaime Lederman served as CEO of the Grupo Phoenix / Phoenix Packaging operations. The current board, CEO and CFO of Inversiones Selva, C.A.

at the listed-entity level are not disclosed in available sources; the BVC publishes no current corporate-governance filing for this issuer, and no annual report or memoria anual is accessible through the exchange, SUNAVAL or the company’s own investor-relations pages.

The money, in plain words

Venezuela’s decade-long economic contraction, hyperinflation and currency controls make financial reporting by local companies deeply unreliable as a cross-border comparison — figures that look large in bolívares can shrink to almost nothing when converted. Revenue, net profit, total assets, net margin and return on equity for Inversiones Selva are not disclosed in available sources across BVC filings, SUNAVAL disclosures or the company’s own site.

What is visible from the BVC’s live trading board (9 July 2026) is that SV.B does not appear among the 33 active tickers trading that day — meaning the stock is either suspended or has seen no transaction at all recently, which is the real financial signal for any potential investor.

What it is doing now

Through Grupo Phoenix / TekniPlex, the Selva business belongs to a group that designs packaging solutions for food, personal care, household and pharmaceutical industries, with 12 production plants across Colombia, the United States, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela, supplying clients including Danone, Unilever, Nestlé, General Mills and Burger King.

On the listed-company front, the BVC’s own site search returns no results for Inversiones Selva as of July 2026 — no recent filings, no dividend announcements, no shareholder meeting notices — a silence that speaks louder than any press release.

What to watch

• Disclosure obligations: SUNAVAL requires all listed companies to file audited accounts; the absence of any filing accessible to the public raises questions about compliance that a prospective investor should clarify before trading.
• Parent-company strategy: TekniPlex’s ownership of Grupo Phoenix is now the key driver of capital allocation, pricing and plant investment for Inversiones Selva — monitor TekniPlex announcements for any restructuring or delisting intention.
• Venezuela macro: Any recovery in domestic consumer spending — the primary market for Selva’s disposable products — would directly lift volumes; equally, fresh currency controls or raw-material import restrictions are the main operational risk.
• Stock liquidity: SV.B is registered on the BVC with a par value of VES 1.00 (US$0.00)per share (ISIN VEV0008010B8), but the absence of live price data and trading activity means any quoted price would need independent verification before being treated as real.
