Despite unstable economic conditions, the firm had been able to scoop MYR283.96m ($65.8m) in revenues for the fiscal year 2014, an increase of 17.8% as compared with the previous year. The growth is likely to have been generated by the firm’s business presence in the Asia Pacific region and domestic market rises.
The manufacturer has been serving the industries since 1990, and delivers plain and printed polyethylene (PE) collation shrink films and PE lamination based films through its industrial packaging unit. BP Plastics also delivers hand and machine stretch films under the Inifinity, Clarity and Priority brand names through its stretch film division.
