FMCG CONTAINERS

Mpact Plastics is one of southern Africa’s largest FMCG rigid plastic packaging suppliers. The FMCG

operations comprise three manufacturing sites, which serve a wide customer base, including many multinationals and manufacture packaging for the

pharmacutical,food, beverage, household and cosmetic industries.

the advantages of regional manufacturing. It also allows

for effective customer response and lower transport

costs.
