The plastics industry in the Middle East has been a major global player for more than a decade and continues to experience remarkable growth. This momentum is favoured by several factors, including geographical location, availability of raw materials and increased investment in modern technologies. Governments and companies in the Middle East are investing heavily in the development of the plastics industry. New technologies and upgrades to existing production facilities are being introduced to increase efficiency and improve product quality. Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), one of the largest petrochemical companies in the world, is playing a leading role in this development. SABIC is driving the industry forward with innovations and extensive research and development programmes. With continuous investment in infrastructure, research and development and an increased focus on sustainability, the region has the potential to play a leading role in the global plastics industry. Our long-standing partner HPPT in Dubai continues to expand its sales organisation in the Middle East. HPPT has expanded its team to include additional sales and technical staff with industry experience in the area and is on hand to answer any questions customers may have. For this purpose, we are cooperating with SSB Wägetechnik GmbH in Germany in order to be able to serve the market comprehensively. Our products and machines offer a reliable basis, “Made in Germany”, consistent partnerships and many years of expertise and the international orientation of SSB make us an interesting partner for the industry in the United Arab Emirates. Another important step was the signing of the contract between SSB and HPPT for the co-operation for the production of plants in the United Arab Emirates.
