Activity in Egypt
Activity overview
The monitored industrial activity in Egypt includes machinery commissions, press installations, and corrugator agreements across multiple packaging sectors. In paper and board processing, BloomPack produced its first sheet on a new Valmet-supplied offline coating line for coated white top liner operations, while Sahara Paper Industries concluded an agreement with BW Papersystems for a 2.5-metre intelligent doublewall corrugator.
In converting and printing, Asepto installed two Heidelberg Boardmaster flexo presses at its 12-billion-pack facility, expanding liquid packaging infrastructure. Concurrently, Cairo-based Tarabichi Global Printing added three Multitec flexo presses to its machinery lineup to increase label production.

Connected developments
Corrugated board and liner manufacturing equipment
BloomPack and Sahara Paper Industries have both advanced machinery investments for paperboard converting, involving an offline coating line for white top liner and a 2.5-metre doublewall corrugator respectively. The evidence demonstrates bilateral supplier transactions with Valmet and BW Papersystems, but does not indicate any commercial, operational, or supply-chain integration between BloomPack and Sahara Paper Industries.
Flexographic printing press additions
Both Asepto and Tarabichi Global Printing integrated new flexographic machinery into their production bases, acquiring Heidelberg Boardmaster and Multitec presses respectively. While both projects introduce new flexo converting hardware, they target distinct packaging applications—liquid packaging cartons and label converting—and share no common ownership, facility, or joint technical platform according to the provided facts.
Activity analysis
The selected developments reflect concrete investments in printing and web converting machinery across different packaging segments. Operations span from board surface finishing and corrugator line acquisition to high-capacity liquid packaging flexography and self-adhesive or shrink sleeve label printing. Each initiative relies on specific international machinery manufacturers delivering defined production hardware.
- Sahara Paper Industries signs agreement for 2.5-metre corrugator
- Asepto installs twin flexo presses at liquid packaging facility
- Tarabichi Global Printing adds three flexographic presses in Cairo
- BloomPack produces first sheet on offline coating line in Egypt
Operational progress varies by site: while BloomPack has reached sheet production and Asepto has completed press installations, Sahara Paper Industries has formalized an installation agreement and Tarabichi Global Printing has integrated additional printing units. The record confirms equipment deployments without demonstrating broader national integration or sector-wide operational shifts.
