Takamul Industries has commissioned an OMET Varyflex V2 printing press at Express Flexi Pack to expand production capabilities for aluminium foil lids and flexible packaging serving regional and international markets.
The company said the investment forms part of its programme to develop manufacturing capacity for customers in the dairy, beverage, bottled water and food sectors. No investment value, installation date, production increase or press configuration was disclosed.
The new press is intended to support Express Flexi Pack’s production of packaging for brand owners requiring improved graphic reproduction, production performance and product presentation. The commissioning also extends the relationship between Takamul Industries and Italian printing equipment manufacturer OMET.
Shaker Akil, Chief Executive Officer of Takamul Industries, said: “Every investment we make is driven by one objective – creating greater value for our customers. By continuously investing in advanced technologies, we strengthen our ability to support brands with innovative packaging solutions that enhance product presentation, improve operational performance, and help our customers compete in increasingly demanding markets.”
Express Flexi Pack became part of Takamul Industries in 2022 and is one of five specialised packaging companies within the group. According to the announcement, the business supplies customers in more than 25 countries across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
The commissioning is intended to strengthen the group’s flexible packaging and aluminium-lid printing capabilities while supporting demand from food and beverage producers across these markets. Takamul Industries did not provide information on press width, printing units, inline finishing options, output speeds or substrates processed.
The installation represents the latest disclosed manufacturing investment by the group as it develops its packaging operations and expands support for customers across its target sectors and markets.
