A Dubai initiative to form a representative committee in the packaging sector has been applauded by the industry's market leader in Pakistan. 

 

“We definitely back the idea of a representative committee as has taken place in Dubai. All over the world it is difficult to obtain expertise in the area of packaging. The committee is very good idea, ” stated Chief Executive of Salam Enterprises, Rahal Salam.  

 

Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry's new representative panel for packaging and the high-profile PackTech International expo', which starts this week and runs until January 15, “are substantial steps in the right direction,” according to Salam. 

 

”All countries need packaging institutions; especially in the areas of training, maintenance and after-sales service,” according to Salam, adding that packaging is “a major concept of any product and it has been overlooked too long.”  

 

Salam Enterprises is making its debut at PackTech which runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre and Salam says it will be the start of the firm's push into the Gulf market. The company is represented in the Gulf by Eastern Falcon of Dubai.  

 

Salam Enterprises makes all types of packaging machines for solids and liquids as well as material for the products. It will introduce its liquid and granule packaging machines at PackTech. — (menareport.com)
