Dear Business
Associates and Friends, welcome to this 4th issue of REACH!
Throughout our journey, and in every progress we have made, we
always came back to the same conclusion: hard work is a
prerequisite to success. The more we worked hard, the more
progress we made toward our goals since “there is no place where
success comes before work, except in the dictionary”, Donald
Kendall, Co-Founder, former Chairman & CEO of Pepsi. We work
hard and
constantly challenge ourselves to improve our value proposition.
To our Muslim partners, we would like to take this opportunity
to wish all of you, Ramadan Kareem.
To our Ethiopian customers, we wish you a Happy
Ethiopian New Year - Melkam Addis Amet!
Enjoy this
issue!

MASTERPAK Launches FFS Film Production

Beginning August 2010, MASTERPAK started Form-Fill-Seal (FFS)
roll production for the packaging of dry condiments,
fertilizers, petrochemical products, as well as other products.
Guy Habbaki, MASTERPAK Quality Assurance Manager, states,
“We are committed to providing customers with consistent
high-quality FFS films for different applications. Our
highly-trained and experienced team of professionals has
production flexibility to produce as per customers'
specifications. We continuously work on supplying products on
time.”
We will be producing three-layer heavy duty FFS film tube in
rolls with side gusset and embossing. Furthermore, the film will
range from 30-80cm in width and 140-170microns in thickness and
the outer diameter of the roll can go up to 1m.
MASTERPAK will be using
flexographic printing which enables two-side print of up to four
colors and will be customizing the film according to the type of
the packed product.
Amal Merhi, MASTERPAK Marketing Manager, explains,
“This new and technically advanced flexible packaging line will
allow us to cater to the rapidly growing market demands of dry
condiments, polyolefin, and granules, in addition to chemical
and petrochemical products, composts and fertilizers, powder
detergents, and cement on FFS machinery.“

MASTERPAK
lately launched the 5S methodology aiming at running a
well-oiled manufacturing plant.
The 5S methodology is used in order to organize
workplaces, facilitate all processes and improve overall
performance. The 5S methodology consists of 5 phases:
Sorting, Setting in Order, Shining (systematic
cleaning), Standardizing, and Sustaining.
MASTERPAK, with
the implementation of the 5S methodology, aims at
increasing efficiency and effectiveness by improving
safety, downtime, quality and throughput. We also, seek
to foster better employee morale and communication.
Imad Njeim, MASTERPAK Plant Manager, explains,
“All workplaces require organization and 5S provides the
tools to ensure a better workplace. MASTERPAK launched
the 5S three months ago and we have already noticed a
positive outcome in terms of safety, efficiency and
motivation.“
By the execution of the 5S, MASTERPAK’s work area will
be organized strategically to assist daily tasks and
communication without excess bulk. Employees can easily
access materials and tools they need, thus eliminating
waste and reducing production time.
Furthermore, by making certain that production wastes
are properly disposed of, thus avoiding littering of the
workplace, safety is ensured consequently cultivating a
healthy work environment.
Njeim shares a simple example depicting the 5S outcome,
“If a specific place is not allocated at home for car
keys, every time these keys are misplaced time will be
wasted in search of them, thus resulting in missed
appointments. This is an example of how disorganization
results in inefficiency. The 5S methodology, also known
as the housekeeping methodology, serves as the “key
holder” to all workplaces, providing the solution to
disorganization.”

We were facing
repetitive incidents of ink stains on our mattress from the
printed PE wraps until we started to source from MASTERPAK. We
found in MASTERPAK a reliable supplier of safe and good quality
printed PE Films for our Bella Flex ® mattresses. Their on-time
delivery, regular follow-up and excellent after-sales service
have made them today our sole supplier partner.
