Qatar Plastic and Wooden Products Company

What Qatar Plastic and Wooden Products Company does

Qatar Plastic and Wooden Products Company W.L.L. (QPPC) is a Qatar-based flexible packaging manufacturer established on 19 September 1998 at Mesaieed Industrial City, approximately 40 km south of Doha. The company converts locally-produced polyethylene resins into a range of industrial films and bags using blown film extrusion technology on five Windmoller & Holscher (Germany) lines, supplemented by multi-layer coextrusion capability, flexographic printing up to six colours, and an on-site plastic waste recycling unit. QPPC also manufactures Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC/EcoDeck) — the first such production in the GCC — and operates the QWPC subsidiary, which produces 1.6 million ISPM15-compliant heat-treated wooden pallets per year.

QPPC's revenue is generated primarily through direct sales of flexible packaging films to enterprise and government customers in Qatar and the wider GCC, with Form Fill Seal (FFS) films accounting for roughly 78–83% of sales and shrink films contributing about 12–14%. Approximately 70% of production is committed to Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO) under a long-range supply contract, and the remaining output is sold directly to Q-Chem, Qatofin, KAHRAMAA, construction contractors, and industrial buyers, with European distribution supported by Italian shareholder Febo. The company reported sales of QR 88 million (approximately $24.1 million) and net profit of QR 10.3 million in 2012, the most recent year with disclosed financials.

The company is privately held with three equal shareholders — QAPCO, QIMC, and Febo of Italy (each 33.33%) — creating a unique vertical alignment between QPPC's primary feedstock supplier, its largest customer, and its European distribution partner. QPPC holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, KAHRAMAA approval for blue polyethylene sleeving, and ASTM D4397 conformity for construction foil, qualifying it for government infrastructure tenders in Qatar and the GCC. As of June 2023, QPPC announced an expansion plan aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030, including construction of a new plant at Ras Laffan to serve petrochemical packaging and palletizing demand.
