Manufacturing companies in Santa Fe, Argentina

Santa Fe has 7,163 manufacturing company records in ISIC section C (manufacturing), 7,163 of them active, according to the Registro Nacional de Sociedades as of 2026-09-18. That is 8.8% of the section in Argentina and makes Santa Fe the 4th largest of 24 provinces for manufacturing. The sector is over-represented here: section C is 7.9% of all records in Santa Fe against 6.4% nationally, a location quotient of 1.23.

Rosario Sud concentrates 21.1% of the active companies, followed by Rosario Norte (1,203) and Santa Fe (404); the three together hold 43.6%. The median active company is 17.7 years old; 2% were registered in the last year and 7% in the last three. In the 12 months to June 2026, 154 new manufacturing businesses were registered in Santa Fe, -24.9% on the previous 12 months (national section C: -7.4%). By ISIC division, 10 (manufacture of food products) is 19.8% of the records and 25 (manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment) 15.3%.

This is the section industrial software, ERP, IIoT, logistics, trade-finance and equipment vendors buy most. Division 10 (food) and 25 (fabricated metal products) are usually the largest; 14 (apparel) and 31 (furniture) add many small workshops; 33 (repair and installation of machinery) inflates the count with small service shops, so filter it out for a pure producer list. Size and employee fields matter here more than anywhere: use them where the registry publishes them.
