Primepak Nigeria, Radiant UAE adopt Flexibiz ERP to integrate packaging operations across two continents

NIGERIA – Primepak Industries Nigeria and Radiant Packaging UAE, part of the same packaging group, have implemented the Flexibiz ERP system to align their international operations, bringing core functions including sales, stores, production, dispatch, and accounts onto a single platform for tighter control across geographically dispersed facilities.

The ERP system supports a comprehensive set of modules, including sales order management with approval workflows, inventory and stores control, purchase and material receipt, production and work order management, dispatch and invoicing, job work tracking, customer returns, quality control, and management reporting. 

It also provides integration with accounting systems, ensuring smooth data exchange and financial reconciliation.

A key reason for selecting Flexibiz ERP was its ability to be customised for packaging-specific requirements, incorporating bill of materials-based material control, production process alignment, job work valuation, and detailed reporting. 

It also enables backward lot traceability, allowing tracking of materials through every stage of production.

When ERP Bridges Continents

A plant in Lagos and a plant in Dubai operate in different time zones, serve different customers, and face different regulatory regimes. 

But they share the same parent company, the same quality standards, and now the same ERP. 

Flexibiz does not make film or print pouches. It makes sure that a multi-location packaging group operates as one company, not two.

The Nigerian facility, acquired in 2025, serves as the group’s gateway to the West African market with a production capacity of approximately 1,500 metric tonnes, featuring four printing presses, five lamination machines, two blown film extrusion lines, and three pouching machines. 

The plant serves FMCG-driven sectors such as food, beverages, hygiene, and healthcare.

A Tale of Two Facilities

Radiant Packaging UAE, established in 2017, operates in a structured, technology-driven environment with a production capacity of around 900 metric tonnes, equipped with two printing presses, four lamination lines, and pouching and blown film capabilities. 

The UAE unit has invested in specialised technologies such as cold seal packaging, laser scoring, and advanced coating solutions for healthcare and high-performance packaging.

While both companies differ in market dynamics, Nigeria serving a cost-sensitive, rapidly growing market and the UAE focusing on premium applications and regulatory compliance, the need for operational consistency led to the adoption of the Flexibiz ERP platform. 

Prior to implementation, many processes across the group were managed manually or through spreadsheets, limiting visibility and making coordination difficult.
