12

LEADING packaging products supplier, Nampak Zimbabwe Limited (Nampak), says global supply chain bottlenecks and increased competition for available plastic and paper raw materials are disrupting the company’s manufacturing operations.
In a trading update for the year ended September 30, 2021, Nampak managing director John Van Gend said difficulties in accessing raw materials affected the group in the period under review.

“The quarter from July 1 to September 30, 2021 was dominated by difficulties in accessing adequate foreign exchange and raw materials. Global supply chain bottlenecks and intensified competition for available plastic and paper raw material negatively affected the group’s raw material stock holding,” Van Gend said.
