Profi le: Savola Plastics began as an in-house plastics operation. It now processes around 160,000 tonnes/year of resin at its three subsidiary companies – two in Saudi Arabia and one in Egypt. The company exports to more than 35 countries, and has ambitions to be among the top 20 global plastics packaging companies by 2015. Its clients are spread across the food and other consumer markets, and include Unilever, Henkel, Danone, Procter & Gamble and Nestle.
Product lines:
All three companies within the group – Savola Packaging Systems and Al-Sharq Plastics in Saudi Arabia, and New Marina Plastics in Egypt – are involved in packaging. Al-Sharq is most focused on fi lm, in the form of fi lm rolls (including FFS fi lm, PE rolls, greenhouse rolls), bags and OPP labels. It also makes shrink fi lm and stretch fi lm. The other two divisions produce in-mould label packaging, as well as bottles and caps.
Plant locations:
Each subsidiary company has one or more manufacturing facilities. Savola Packaging Systems has manufacturing in both Riyadh and Jeddah. Al-Sharq, at its Riyadh plant, operates more than 100 machines. New Marina Plastics has a facility in New Borg El Arab in Alexandria, Egypt.
