BANGKOK, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Producing over 2,850 million pieces in annual output will help to expand Thai
SMEs' business opportunities and enhance the "New Normal" lifestyle of
consumers worldwide.
With the world still battling the COVID-19 pandemic and driven by the "New
Normal" lifestyle, Eka Global, Asia's No. 1 longevity packaging producer, has
been inundated with an increasing demand for its proven rigid-barrier plastic
packaging products. This led to a newly installed 10th production-line,
enabling the company to increase its production capacity by 15%.
The additional production line, which is fully commissioned and commenced
commercial operations in September 2021, will add another 350 million units to
Eka Global's current production capacity of 2,500 million units per annum. This
will boost the overall production output to 2,850 million units per year.
Chaiwat Nantiruj, Eka Global's Group CEO, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic has
changed people's way of life. Self-quarantine and food delivery have become an
integral part of our "New Normal" lifestyles. The global food-delivery industry
has seen a significant increase in business, leading to a greater demand for
our longevity packaging that promotes food safety and provides greater
convenience for the consumers."
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic brought much if the world to a virtual
standstill in 2020, Eka Global has been operating at maximum capacity. The
company continues to receive ever increasing orders from customers across the
Asia Pacific, the USA and Europe. To be well prepared to meet this uptrend in
the future, the company felt it feasible to expand its production capacity with
this latest investment.
"Demand for longevity packaging will continue in the future with or without
COVID-19," said Chaiwat. "Visionary food producers, exporters and local SMEs
have also realized this and are looking for high quality longevity packaging."
Together with its commitment to becoming an innovative leader in the longevity
packaging market, Eka Global also cares about the environment. The company
believes that environmentally friendly packaging is a critical tool to enable
Thai SMEs to expand their business overseas and enhances their competitiveness
in the global market.
"We aim to minimize the impact of our business on the environment," said
Chaiwat. "The Circular Economy concept is key for business development to
achieve sustainable growth. We have introduced a 360-degree waste management
policy. Our products are already 100% recyclable but we are not yet fully
satisfied."
"Our R&D team has been working very hard to come up with more environmentally
friendly innovations. Among other research projects that we are working on is
using plant-based raw materials to replace petroleum-based products. Our goal
is crystal clear, that is to allow consumers to enjoy a New Normal lifestyle
with food safety while sharing the responsibility for a Clean Environment."
