Growing Demand for Packaging Solutions in the Gulf Region
Governments in the Gulf States are increasingly promoting the development of local production facilities to reduce import dependence and strengthen domestic economies. As a result, the demand for high-performance packaging solutions continues to rise. Industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods especially benefit from cutting-edge packaging technologies that not only enhance efficiency but also enable sustainable processes. A growing trend in the region is the adoption of lean packaging concepts with optimized Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)—a specialty of Greif-Velox. The company’s innovative machines and systems offer high productivity with minimal resource usage, enhancing the competitiveness of local manufacturers.
Internationalization as a Strategic Growth Driver
"This partnership marks a significant milestone in our internationalization strategy," says Sebastian Pohl, Managing Director of Greif-Velox. "With Packme Mena, we have a strong partner at our side who will further expand our presence in an economically dynamic region and provide our customers with direct access to our technologies."
Ahmed M. Ateeq, Regional Manager for Greif-Velox at Packme Mena, adds: "We are delighted to expand our portfolio through this collaboration with Greif-Velox. Their state-of-the-art equipment and components perfectly align with our motto ‘Packaging Machinery for a Better World’ and enable us to offer our customers even more efficient and sustainable solutions."
