EDITOUR PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 03/25 www.petpla.net 11 On average, the group is growing by 5% annually. A special feature is the objective to invest around US$10 million annually in continuous expansion. A total of 750 employees work at the sites on a total area of 400,000m2, of which around two thirds are dedicated to production and one third to warehousing. In addition to the Egyptian market, the products are exported to the Middle East and the MENA region, including seven African countries. US exports also take place from time to time. For preforming, the group relies on 15 Husky HyPET HPP 300 and 500 systems of different model generations with cavities ranging from 72 to 144. The preform range goes from 8 g to 360 g for large containers and includes all common types. The CSD segment accounts for around 40% of the entire business, followed by water with 30%. The remainder is accounted for by all other segments. A special product that is also produced here is the PET can with an aluminium lid, which is shown to us in one part of the plant tour.
