These trends have given rise to the strong demand enjoyed by packaging manufacturers, includingSCGM has recorded six consecutive quarters of improved food packaging sales, which constitute 85% of its revenue.
The sharp surge in resin prices since July 2021 due to the global freight issue and electricity crisis in China has weighed on SCGM, in spite of the company raising its product prices to transfer the cost to customers.Speaking to StarBizWeek, SCGM managing director Datuk Seri Lee Hock Chai says the move to raise its product prices is only a short-term measure.
“It also helps us reduce labour and time, and save on the cost of stretch film from more consistent and effective wrapping compared to the manual process. He points out that the most labour-intensive process in SCGM’s operations is the final packing, while the production is largely automated. Lee says that the group will be developing more customised packaging for the customer’s specific requirements. “For instance, we are developing advanced quality packaging that extends the shelf life of food in a safe manner.
