Economic conditions have changed compared to previous years. A dish that was for example 100 Tomans a few years ago has become 1000 Tomans this year, which is related to the high cost of raw materials. The materials are also purchased from the exchange with half the currency. Petrochemicals cannot supply all the needs of disposable container manufacturers through the commodity exchange, and manufacturers inevitably go to the market, which causes fluctuations in product prices.
Prima Plastic Company is an almost new brand in disposable containers, but we should be innovative in our work. We introduce new containers with suitable shapes that are offered in the best countries in terms of packaging to the customers. We convince companies that the containers we produce have more advantages than the containers they are using. Maybe it is difficult for us and the company’s commercial group to work in the domestic market, but we have been quite successful in the export field. Because we are moving according to the standards of the world.
We have about 250 molds and containers
One of the opportunities of the disposable tableware industry that may not be repeated is currency differences. During the past years, packaging containers came in abundance from China and Turkey, but today, due to the lack of economic efficiency, large factories try to meet their needs in the domestic market, which has increased the mobility in the domestic market. Companies can definitely provide Iranian producers with market share permanently through innovation.
We are working at maximum capacity. Again, we procured new machines and molds, which, unfortunately, we are trying hard to clear due to administrative bureaucracies.
Our device has been in the customs for about two months and has stopped production and ultimately employment. The clearance of the device is subject to the order of the Central Bank for currency specialization. This is despite the fact that we have provided the required currency ourselves. With all these issues, we are happy that things are going well.
We started our work last year and the economic conditions and changes since last year have been great, but with God’s help and teamwork, we have been able to succeed.
