New Year Greeting
Dear colleagues,
Last year was one like no other.
The constant pressure challenged us all.
However, we not only managed to prevail, but made many improvements to our company and will get out of this pandemic stronger than we were when it started.
I am so very grateful that, although we had a number of positive Covid 19 cases, all of our colleagues have fully recovered.
Importantly, due to your commitment and personal dedication, and unlike other companies in our sector, we managed to serve our customers without a single day of downtime at any site during this difficult period.
The management team and myself thank you for this.
Undoubtedly there will be more challenges ahead of us. But we can look ahead with confidence in our abilities and experience.
I wish you and your families a great new year.
Best regards,
Tilman F. Ehret, ENPI GROUP CEO

FSC Certification
ENPI GROUP is proud to work with partners and customers that require the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. By buying our paper products from sustainable foresting in Europe, we protect the scarce wood lands in arid regions like the Middle East.
Forests play a critical role in the health of global ecosystems by providing an important habitat for wildlife, promoting clean water, preventing soil erosion and mitigating the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
They provide materials that are used in many everyday products like wood, paper or natural rubber. Forests that are managed responsibly can, provide these materials indefinitely.

PET plastic bottles: a valuable resource!
A valuable resource: PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) plastic bottles.
Did you know that PET bottles can be completely recycled and returned into new bottles?
After being disposed of properly and collected, they should head to sorting facilities instead of the environment!
In the first step of being recycled, the bottles are sorted, the labels are removed and the bottles and caps are cut into small pieces, known as flakes. Used PET bottles of specific colors are pressed together, and taken to a plant to be processed into a material called rPET (Recycled PolyEthylene Terephthalate).
There, the bottles and caps are cut into into small pieces, known as flakes. The flakes are then washed, dried, melted in an extruder and then granulated. This raw material is now called rPET (Recycled PolyEthylene Terephthalate) and is tested to assure the quality for food safety use.
The rPET is now ready to be reused in the manufacturing of new preforms, from which new PET bottles are made. And the whole process can start all over again!

Preforms & Closures
Did you know?
There are many steps in the production of a water bottle:
– First the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is heated to 185°C and melted.
– This melted plastic is then injected into molds that define the shape and size of the so-called preforms. These preforms are the precursor of any water bottle and look somewhat like test tubes.
– At the water companies, these preforms are then re-heated and placed in bottle shaped blow molds, where high-pressured air inflates them to fill the molds and give them their final shape.
– This final bottle is then filled with water or soda, ready to be sold.
All manufacturing procedures of preform involve strict quality monitoring systems and controls as well as FDA-approval to meet high quality and health requirements.
Members of ENPI GROUP: FUTURE PLAST (UAE) and FUTURE PLUS (KSA) are both leading Preform and Closures suppliers in MENA region.
For more information, please visit www.enpigroup.com
Food for thought:
PET bottles are extremely strong, colorless and the most lightweight option that exists today. If all plastic bottles used globally were made from glass instead, the additional carbon emissions would be equivalent to 22 large coal fired power plants producing enough electricity for a third of the UK.

History of Packaging
Packaging has always been part of our everyday life.
Created 3,500 BC, the first form of packaging was actually twigs, leaves and animal skin used to transport food. It then evolved to clay and them colored glass jars invented by the Egyptians 1,500 BC to transport liquids.
Napoleon Bonaparte played an important role in the history of packaging: he needed long lasting food to feed his soldiers on the far away battlefields, hence the invention of the tin can!
Interesting, but not really related to packaging, right?
From there, paper bags, cartons, cardboard boxes, followed by aluminiun and finally plastic were developed to enhance safe transport and longevity of goods and food.
ENPI GROUP is proud to cover a large spectrum of packaging options, from plates and cups, to preforms and closures, flexible packaging and labels or even food packaging and hygiene solutions. We have it all, a one stop shop for all your packaging needs!

ENPI sustainability practices
Reducing Carbon Footprint:
We implemented energy saving activities and continue to do so. Like shifting to LED lighting or reducing our paper board #packaging consumption while maximizing its volume to increase our dispatched capacity in each product transport, and other activities as planning to install solar panels that are under process.
Product Recyclability:
We keep our products 100% PET plastic #recyclable with highest recycling value. We tied up with a company where our high grade PET scrap is recycled 100%.
Partnership:
Together with clients we developed and produced the first transparent #biodegradable PLA water bottle in the Middle East made from 100% plant-based polymers.
Usage of Raw Materials:
We’re convincing our clients to use at least 25% rPET material along with prime resin. We are also in discussions with a local recycling company to provide FDA approved rPET for use in food grade applications.
Process Efficiency:
We use and acquire machineries from world-class suppliers that offer the most efficient technologies while reducing our waste output.
