MALACCA: Daibochi Plastic and Packaging Industry Bhd is positive on tapping into the growing prospects of the regional flexible packaging market.

“We are optimistic on the tremendous potential in the regional food and beverage (F&B) market as multinational manufacturers increasingly source their flexible packaging requirements from Asia,” managing director Thomas Lim said in a statement.

He said in recent months, Daibochi had witnessed an uptrend in the frequency of visits and requests for quotations from non-Asian multinational companies (MNCs), as Asia typically enjoyed lower costs of production.

Lim said the group had savoured initial success in securing business from the new sectors.

�Since the first quarter of this year, Daibochi has commenced supply of medical glove packaging, albeit on a small scale. At the same time, we are also undergoing continual testing and certifications for our electronics packaging overseas.

“The group had a similar experience in penetrating the F&B sector, and therefore regard these as positive developments in the overall strategy of broadening our clientele,” he said.
