High quality dairy packaging

The project partners want set up a dairy packaging factory to produce 30 million plastic cups annually. The Palestinian Territories have a flourishing dairy industry. Dairy products like yoghurt, shemenet, homs and salat are being produced with local milk and distributed on the local market. Plastic cups for dairy products are being imported by local dairy companies from Turkey, Israel and Israeli settlements. The Palestinian Territories have adopted legislation to restrict import from Israel and Israeli settlements. Therefore, the dairy companies will have to look for new suppliers of packaging.

The partners want to benefit from this opportunity by setting up a factory to produce plastic cups for dairy products. The partners plan to implement sheet extrusion, thermoforming and printing technology for manufacturing cups. This is proven technology, but new to the Palestinian Territories.

The consortium consists out of four partners: Meaf Machines B.V., Al Haram Company, Kamal Hassouneh and Hatem Abu Dayeh. The partners will set up a joint venture. All technical know-how in the field of factory layout, operations and maintenance of production machinery will be delivered by Meaf Machines B.V.. Al Haram Company and its business partners will deliver knowledge on local issues as laws and regulations and on the labour market. They will also be responsible for the daily management of the factory.
