During the tour, the minister was briefed on the company’s packaging manufacturing operations, production technologies, sustainability initiatives and export growth. The visit highlighted the role of packaging manufacturers in strengthening the UAE’s industrial base while supporting economic diversification and export-oriented manufacturing.
Addressing the media, H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri said the UAE remains focused on building a competitive and sustainable industrial economy through stronger public-private collaboration, strategic investments and expanded economic partnerships that enhance the competitiveness of UAE-made products and create new export opportunities in line with the “We the UAE 2031” vision.
Hotpack Founder and Managing Director Abdul Jebbar PB said the minister’s visit recognises the company’s development from a local UAE enterprise into an international packaging manufacturer. He added that the partnership with GII will help expand production capacity, enter additional markets and accelerate the company’s sustainable packaging initiatives.
