Eka Global follows through on a package deal

Mr Chaiwat has seen his research-backed packaging business overcome early setbacks to become profitable.

After getting off to a bumpy start many years ago, local plastic packaging company Eka Global is now aiming to become the largest producer of longevity packaging in Asia within five years.

The ambitious goal follows a period of rapid growth for the company, especially after its move to take over the Asian business unit of Print Pack, a US-based rigid packaging manufacturer.
