Orlando, FL, (U.S.A.), July 1st, 2026 – As part of its international growth strategy and ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality customer support, SABO is strengthening its commercial presence in Latin America through an expanded partnership with Omya and a dedicated SABO regional representative.
Building on the successful collaboration already established in Mexico, effective July 1st, 2026, Omya will become the authorized distributor of SABO’s full product portfolio (UV protection, anti-fogging, and anti-static additives) in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia.
This new regional structure will enable SABO to provide greater market proximity, improved responsiveness and a more consistent customer experience in key markets.
To further support this development, Leonardo Laverde has joined SABO as Sales and Business Development Manager for Latin America. Working in close cooperation with the Omya team, he will serve as the primary point of contact for commercial and business development matters throughout the region, ensuring direct alignment with customer needs and market priorities.
“Latin America is a strategic region for SABO, and we see significant potential for future growth across the market. By working closely with trusted partners such as Omya and strengthening our team with the addition of Leonardo Laverde, we aim to build long-term relationships and create lasting value for our customers”, said Alberto Vischetti, Chief Operating Officer of SABO International Americas.
