According to Pedro Mendes, of the commercial department of the Mozambican branch of Plasteuropa, the factory is being set up on a site currently occupied by a warehouse that distributes plastic packaging imported from Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Mendes said that building the Mozambican packaging factory is budgeted at 800,000 euros (about 1.2 million US dollars).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The project has been approved by the government&#8217;s Investment Promotion Centre&#8221;, said Mendes. &#8220;Right now we are importing the machinery to begin production. The machines will arrive in Mozambique this month, and the packaging factory will begin its operations in August&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We already have some contracts with Mozambican companies who currently import the packaging we make in Portugal&#8221;, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Plasteuropa owns four factories in Portugal. The factory in Matola will be the first plant that the company has set up abroad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We think that Mozambique is growing sufficiently to justify this investment&#8221;, said Mendes. &#8220;The country is a good business opportunity, and this will be our first factory outside of Portugal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The factory will employ 30 workers in producing plastic bags and flexible plastic packaging for vegetables, rice and other foodstuffs.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Original post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106140302.html\" title=\"Portuguese Company to Set Up Packaging Factory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Portuguese Company to Set Up Packaging Factory<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 13 June 2011 Maputo \u2014 The Portuguese company Plateuropa is mobilising equipment for a factory to produce plastic packaging in the southern Mozambican city of Matola.
