Hotpack Global, a leading manufacturer of disposable food packaging products, announced opening of its largest retail store for food packaging products in the UAE.

 

The outlet is the biggest of Hotpack’s 32 sales centres, will offer a versatile range of food packaging products for both retail and wholesale customers, Hotpack Global said in a statement, adding that its product range will continue to reinforce the company’s uncompromising focus on quality, innovation and hygiene.

 

“The new sales centre is our 32nd in the GCC. The opening of the outlet comes in the backdrop of the exponential growth of the food packaging industry in the UAE which is poised to be at AED 14 billion in the next five years from AED 10 billion in 2020,” said Abdul Jebbar PB, Group Managing Director, Hotpack Global, at the opening of the centre in the presence of the chief guest, Adnan Jasim Rashid Boausaibah, Director of Hotpack Global.

 

The new sales centre, spanning over 5,600 sq ft, is located on Umm Suqiem Street, Al Barsha.

Jebbar said the Hotpack outlook is to continue expanding in the UAE, as well as in the region, as new global food brands have been foraying into the market. “Middle East and Africa (MEA) is the fastest growing region for food packaging products in the world, growing at approximately 5-7 per cent, compared to the global average of 3-5 per cent,” he said.

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has also pushed the demand for hygienic and sustainable packaging products, catalysed by the increasing growth of e-commerce. “At Hotpack Global, our endeavor is to ensure safety and hygiene and offer tamper-evident packaging for a complaint-free consumer experience, as we continue to expand in the regional and global markets,” Jebbar said.

 

Hotpack Global has a group turnover of AED 950 million and has a presence in 25 locations across the Middle East, UK and a chain of network in other Gulf and African countries. The company’s sales centres are present across the seven emirates in the UAE, as well as in other GCC countries.

The group plans to reinforce its position as a one-stop shop for high quality packaging solutions across over 75 countries in line with its vision to be the premier global brand in the packaging industry. Hotpack, which completed 25 years last year, operates a state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Wrexham – Wales, England at an investment of GBP 50 million.
