Gulf Packaging Industries (GulfPack) in Saudi Arabia, a producer of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), cast PP, and metallised films, has secured contracts for a substantial expansion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The expansion will allow the company to boost its production capacity and cater to the growing global demand from its customers.<\/p>\n

As part of this expansion, GulfPack will set up two new BOPP production lines, each 10.4m wide, at a new plant.<\/p>\n

This will boost the company\u2019s BOPP film capacity from 183,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) to around 318,000tpa.<\/p>\n

The new production lines are planned to start operating in 2026 and 2027, respectively.<\/p>\n

These recent investments are reported to align with the company\u2019s commitment to developing solutions that support recyclable monomaterial structures while minimising the environmental impact of flexible packaging.<\/p>\n

GulfPack CEO Naif AlAnsari said: \u201cThis expansion is a testament to GulfPack\u2019s unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received an overwhelming response to our recent expansions in 2023-24, and with our customer base growing rapidly, demand for our high-performance films continues to surge across the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we export to over 75 countries, and these new investments will allow us to enhance our supply capabilities, strengthen partnerships, and support our customers in achieving their growth ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

GulfPack produces its solutions for packaging converters and fast-moving consumer goods companies.<\/p>\n

It operates a sales and distribution hub in the US, along with sales offices in ten locations worldwide.<\/p>\n
