Taghleef Industries opens US facility

Taghleef Industries, the Dubai-based BOPP film manufacturer, has opened its new US offices in Charleston, South Carolina. The site will also host warehousing facilities courtesy of a partnership with Dockside Logistics, a warehousing company based just a few miles from the Wando Terminal in Charleston.  

Colin Jones, Taghleef Industries’s US market development manager, who has over 25 years experience in the BOPP industry in Europe and other regions, commented: ‘TI Films is the fastest growing BOPP producer in the world. We wanted to prove to the US flexible packaging industry that we are determined to establish a real presence in the country. With these new facilities coming on stream as we speak, we look to develop strategic partnerships with many leading BOPP film converters and users. Our raw material resources for the future are well documented and with that support we ensure that TI is ready for the challenges ahead. 

‘Furthermore Charleston is proud to claim the title of “most efficient port” in the USA, and with several major shipping lines increasing traffic between the Gulf and the East Coast of the USA, in particular Charleston, this allows us the benefit of fast transit times. Combined with inventory programs I would like to think the US converters and end users can consider us as a domestic supplier.’
