This year Toppan will present GL BARRIER transparent barrier film and other Toppan Group packaging and film solutions to packaging producers and end-users, such as manufacturers of food and personal care goods, in the African market, which has continued to show remarkable growth in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> In May 2021 Toppan published its Medium Term Plan for the period April 2021 to March 2023, taking a key concept of Digital &amp; Sustainable Transformation. One of the priorities defined in the plan is accelerating expansion of the global packaging business by catering to demand for sustainable solutions and establishing networks facilitating local production for local consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toppan has thus far advanced its packaging business in Indonesia, Thailand, China, and other parts of Asia and established manufacturing and supply capabilities for markets in Europe and the Americas by launching operations at Toppan USA\u2019s Georgia Plant in April 2016. Toppan acquired InterFlex Group, a packaging manufacturer with bases in the U.S. and U.K., in 2021. Toppan has also recently brought onboard leading India-based film manufacturer Toppan Speciality Films and Thailand-based packaging manufacturer Majend Makcs as consolidated subsidiaries, as it strengthens global manufacturing and sales capabilities with an eye on markets including North, Central, and South America, Europe, and Asia. In late 2024, Toppan plans to launch operations at a new GL BARRIER plant in the Czech Republic to enable production in optimal locations on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated in close proximity to countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Egypt is a hub for maritime traffic and trade that sees large numbers of people from various countries coming together. Against a background of population growth, it has a diverse economy and important consumer markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toppan sees Africa and the Middle East as vital growth markets for flexible packaging. Participating in ProPak MENA will be an excellent opportunity to raise the profile of GL BARRIER and Toppan\u2019s global converting business as well as to drive further expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Solutions on show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u30fb GL BARRIER and related barrier packaging<\/strong><br>GL BARRIER is Toppan\u2019s proprietary range of transparent barrier films.

The superior suitability for recycling of these packaging materials has been recognized by multiple European recyclability assessment bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.toppan.co.jp\/living-industry\/packaging\/english\/products\/mono-material_flexible_packaging\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u30fb Toppan Group global supply chain for packaging<\/strong><br>Toppan will showcase the Toppan Group\u2019s packaging production locations throughout the world and its global sales network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>About ProPak MENA 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dates: May 28 to 30, 2023<br>Venue: Egypt International Exhibition Center<br>Toppan booth: H1.K34<br>Organizer: Informa Egypt, LLC<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propakmena.com\/en\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.propakmena.com\/en\/home.html<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>About Toppan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Established in Tokyo in 1900, Toppan is a leading and diversified global provider committed to delivering sustainable, integrated solutions in fields including printing, communications, security, packaging, d\u00e9cor materials, electronics, and digital transformation.
