About

Based in Colombia, where it traces its history back to 1921, Grupo Orbis is a multinational company that has major operations centred on paints, chemicals and the production of water pipes for use in aqueducts, power stations and other industrial settings. Of their major brands, Pintuco deals with paints, O-tek is concerned with water pipes, and group subsidiaries Andercol and Mundial manage chemical products and goods distribution respectively. The company is in a process of expansion towards its ambitious “Orbis 100” project, aimed at increasing total company sales to over COL $4 trillion; Grupo Orbis’ legal team is instrumental in the risk assessment, planning and oversight of the endeavours necessary to achieve this. The department’s staff have come in for particular praise by nominators, including senior legal counsel Diana Diaz Hurtado who was previously legal department director at construction company Compañía de Constructores Asociados, and legal practitioner Valentina Soto Gómez. These individuals are testament to a culture of professionalism and excellence throughout Grupo Orbis’ business operations.
