Excellence in Our Businesses and Our Commitment
Général Emballage operates in three strategic business areas:
The production of corrugated board sheets for converters and certain logistics activities
The conversion of corrugated board into packaging, trays and RRPs through printing and die-cutting processes
The recovery of PCRs
With a nominal capacity of almost 260,000 tonnes and 3 production plants, Général Emballage is the largest corrugator in Algeria, and tends to be one of the largest national companies in all sectors. We manufacture plates, boxes and RRPs to order, with print runs of up to 6 colors. Founded in 2002, Général Emballage has rapidly established itself as a first-rate operator with a reputation for reliability, respect for commitments and a relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction. Our strict system of production process control and collaboration with the academic world and the sphere of scientific research give our products a notorious quality and an ability to take on your most complex needs. Our solutions often include advances in space efficiency, reduction of material consumption, improvements to your production workflow, and better transport plans to reduce your logistics costs and carbon footprint. Some of our solutions, such as high-resolution printing or waxing of cardboard, are absolute must-haves.. In addition to complete control of the design and prototyping chain, Général Emballage delivers in Algeria and abroad. Général Emballage also boasts a vast infrastructure for the collection and recycling of paper and cardboard for recycling (PCR) throughout Algeria. This process includes collection, transport, sorting, baling and finally making the paper available to the production market. These quantities should eventually be redirected to a corrugated paper production complex planned by Général Emballage as part of an upstream expansion.
