Quality, built into every metre of film.
With a focus on quality and innovation, we have grown into a trusted regional brand. Our advanced machinery and skilled team deliver reliable, customised packaging solutions that meet evolving client needs.
We started in Dar es Salaam in 2015 to supply quality packaging locally. Since then we have added extrusion and converting machines, adapted the factory to Tanzania's plastic bag ban, opened our own recycling plant, and in 2025 invested in advanced extrusion and multi-colour flexo printing.
Today more than 70 staff run 14 extrusion machines, printing presses and bag cutting lines in the Mikocheni Industrial Area, producing over 150 tons of packaging every month. Our own brands, Cowboy garbage bags and Commando warning tape, sit alongside the custom packaging we make for other brands.
Sustainability is central to our operations. Through eco-friendly practices, conscious material use and our in-house recycling plant, we convert plastic waste into durable, 100% recycled packaging products.
Our vision
To deliver innovative, eco-friendly plastic solutions that meet diverse needs, ensuring quality, durability and sustainability for industries and individuals alike.
