An Unparalleled Journey of Innovation in the Paraguayan Industry

An Unparalleled Journey of Innovation in the Paraguayan Industry

Throughout its nearly century-long existence, MAAHSA has stood out as a beacon of innovation in the industry. Its pioneering achievements have propelled its success and raised the bar for quality and sustainability in the market. Here, we present a list of milestones that place MAAHSA in a league of its own:

  • First Paraguayan Industry to incorporate 100% pyrethroid-based actives in its insecticide formulations, providing high insect-knockdown power and low toxicity to humans and warm-blooded animals.
  • First Industry globally to introduce the cutting-edge ETOC molecule into aerosol insecticide formulations, which is six times more effective than similar molecules, ensuring minimal toxicity to humans and warm-blooded animals.
    Currently, this molecule is also used in the production of Mapex mosquito-repelling tablets, using six times less active ingredient than other brands on the market to achieve the same effectiveness with reduced user toxicity.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to offer bulk-format laundry and garment care products, such as powdered and liquid soap and fabric softener, in response to end-user needs and demands. This initiative is carried out under a renowned brand, strictly complying with legal regulations and promoting an ecological approach by encouraging container reuse.
  • First and only Paraguayan Industry to manufacture and dry spirals in electric ovens with state-of-the-art drying processes, ensuring that the full insecticidal active remains in the product for maximum effectiveness against mosquitoes, including disease carriers like dengue, zika, and chikungunya. Other brands dry spirals using boilers, making it impossible to control temperature and, consequently, failing to guarantee maximum product effectiveness due to active ingredient volatilization.
  • First and only Paraguayan Industry to utilize clean and renewable energy in the spiral production drying process.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to produce low-foaming washing powder suitable for automatic washing machines.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to manufacture washing powder with incorporated fabric softener, providing whiteness, softness, and fragrance to garments.
  • First Industry globally to develop an oil-based larvicide repellent aerosol for the treatment and prevention of myiasis.

  • First Paraguayan Industry to market dry environmental deodorant, which does not wet upon application, with smaller and lighter particles that linger in the treated environment, prolonging the pleasant aroma for more hours.
  •  First Paraguayan Industry to include citronella in the formulation of mosquito-repelling tablets, working in conjunction with the insecticide to repel mosquitoes and aromatize the surroundings.
  • First Industry in America and 5th globally to incorporate the pyrethroid active Pralle in the formulation, providing the most effective and immediate action against cockroaches while maintaining low toxicity for humans and warm-blooded animals. A clear example of this innovation is the Mapex Black Premium aerosol insecticide, which offers the fastest cockroach-knockdown action in the national market.
  • First and only Paraguayan Industry to use the environmentally friendly SumiOne (Metofluthrin) pyrethroid active, offering 40 times greater potency than the d-allethrin active used by other spiral brands on the market.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to create a floor cleaner with insecticide and citronella fragrance. This innovation is reflected in the Mapex Floor Cleaner.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to incorporate sign language into its advertising campaigns.
  • First Paraguayan Industry in the home and sanitary sector to obtain the "Marca País" (Country Brand) license.
  • First Paraguayan Industry to use 100% biodegradable paper flow pack packaging for the upcoming launch of the Arthe natural bathing soap.

The list of achievements presented here firmly establishes MAAHSA as an indisputable leader, continuing to illuminate the path toward the future.
