Rigid packaging supplier Mold-Tek Packaging has announced a 5.8% growth in net sales for the first quarter (Q1) of financial year 2025 (FY25), reaching Rs1.96bn ($23.46m), compared to Rs1.85bn in the same period of FY24.
The company, which provides injection-moulded rigid plastic packaging, also saw its sales volume increase by 7.53% to 9,894 tonnes (t) in Q1 FY25.
Despite this rise in sales, Mold-Tek Packaging experienced a decrease in profitability.
Its profit before tax fell by 10.40% to Rs221.90m in the quarter ending 30 June 2024, attributed to higher depreciation and finance costs.
Similarly, net profit declined by 11.76% to Rs165.3m as compared to Rs187.3m in the corresponding period of the previous year.
However, when compared to the fourth quarter of FY24, net sales showed a significant increase of 11.22%, with sales volume also rising by 9.07% from 9,071t in Q4 FY24.
