Manufacturing companies in Valle del Cauca, Colombia

Valle del Cauca has 15,021 manufacturing company records in ISIC section C (manufacturing), 6,630 of them active, according to the RUES + Supersociedades (datos.gov.co) as of 2026-10-02. That is 9.7% of the section in Colombia and makes Valle del Cauca the 3rd largest of 30 departments for manufacturing. Its weight in the local economy is close to the national mix: 9.3% of Valle del Cauca's records against 8.5% nationally (location quotient 1.10).

Colombian rows carry the department of the chamber of commerce; the registry publishes a municipality for under 3% of them, so there is no city breakdown for Colombia. The median active company is 6.7 years old; 10% were registered in the last year and 28% in the last three. In the 12 months to September 2026, 648 new manufacturing businesses were registered in Valle del Cauca, -9.0% on the previous 12 months (national section C: -5.2%). By ISIC division, 33 (repair and installation of machinery and equipment) is 16.0% of the records and 10 (manufacture of food products) 15.1%. Size is known for 7% of the active companies; 5% of those are micro and 323 are medium or large.

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.
