Al Thika Packaging LLC has officially joined Zakka Multitec Group, a move confirmed during Gulfood Manufacturing 2025 in Dubai. The announcement marks a strategic integration aimed at strengthening both companies’ positions in the packaging and industrial machinery sector across the Middle East and Africa.
Based in Dubai, Al Thika Packaging has been operating in the UAE and GCC markets for over three decades, supplying packaging machinery, coding and inspection systems, and materials handling solutions. The company will now operate as part of the wider Zakka Multitec network, which has a presence across the region and provides complete line solutions and after-sales services.
“Today is an important day in the history of Al Thika Packaging LLC. For over 30 years, we served the GCC markets with pride, dedication, and an unwavering focus on our customers’ needs,” said Tim Ansell, Managing Partner of Al Thika Packaging. “By joining the Zakka Multitec Group, I am confident that together, we will write the next successful chapter of Al Thika Packaging.”
Jean Zakka, CEO of Zakka Multitec, stated: “By joining forces with Al Thika Packaging, we are entering new territories, serving new customers, and unlocking opportunities that will benefit our customers, suppliers, partners and teams.”
The founders of Al Thika confirmed that the company’s operations and branding will remain unchanged post-integration. Ian, co-founder, said, “The Al Thika brand will continue. It’s not going to be rebranded.” He highlighted the mutual benefits from the companies’ shared technical capabilities and supplier relationships.
The integration also brings alignment in sales strategies, with Zakka Multitec focused on project-based international business and Al Thika operating in domestic, unit-based sales. This is expected to improve customer reach and operational flexibility across multiple markets.
