Packaging

AAFG’s collaboration with Borouge supports a wider vertical integration strategy in packaging, which began with the installation of its bottle plant in 2018 and continued in 2023 with the launch of its preform and cap plant.

The liquid dosing is made possible by a mechanical system in the cap, with an integrated carrier using IML technology for interchangeable syrup pods.

For organisations in Riyadh or Muscat previously reliant on UAE-based production facilities or international suppliers, the local presence could compress timelines.

By introducing embellishment, finishing, and die-cutting solutions alongside printing machines, the company aims to position itself as an integrated solution provider for the labeling and packaging industry rather than as a supplier of standalone equipment.

The integration of Edale’s web transport technology into Canon’s LabelStream 4000 series combines Edale’s mechanical expertise with Canon’s inkjet print heads, creating a hybrid that competes with conventional flexo on speed and with toner-based digital on quality.

The pallet frame is available in sizes 1420 × 1120 mm and 1300 × 1120 mm, and can be easily used with existing pallets and integrated into existing automated processes.
Its stackability also contributes to easy handling and efficient return logistics.

By validating their materials and equipment together before offering them to customers, UPM, Michelman, and BOBST have removed the trial-and-error from SUPD compliance.

The acquisition strengthens Twin Rivers’ engineered paper capabilities while safeguarding jobs and production capacity at the historic Potsdam mill in New York.

The strong growth driven by acquisition synergies, portfolio expansion and robust performance across flexible and rigid packaging operations.
