KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- SCGM Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lee Soon Seng Plastic Industries, is to exclusively manufacture degradable packaging for the Indonesian market, through an agreement with distributor PT Harapan Infiniti Mulia (PT Harapan). The leading thermoform food packaging manufacturer said its unit would manufacture the products for PT Harapan’s in-house “Ecorasa” brand, with expected sales of US$2.1 million (about RM8.5 million) over the two-year period. SCGM managing director Lee Hock Chai said the Memorandum of Agreement, which was signed recently, showcased the company’s experience in thermo-form packaging and commitment to innovating new products in line with increasing customers’ demands for “socially conscious” products. “Both SCGM and PT Harapan have collaborated well in the past year to bring the Ecorasa degradable packaging into Indonesia . This agreement brings us a step closer to cementing our relationship and make eco-friendly products more accessible into the large market,” he said in a statement Wednesday. PT Harapan is the exclusive distributor of Ecorasa degradable packaging in Indonesia, which includes thermo-form lunch-boxes, bowls, plates, trays and other products. -- BERNAMA
