The Middle East is the fastest growing market for tobacco
consumption in theworld. Though it accounts for a small percentage
of global consumption, the region still represents a substantially
growing market due to its demographic strength and rising
disposable income. The Middle East is also a region that is attracting
much investment in facilities for the production and manufacturing
of tobacco products. Dubai is considered to be a significant hub for
tobacco exports and re-exports, mainly into Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia
and the Levant markets. As the prominent player in the Middle
East for BOPP films, it is a natural fit for
Ti
to enter the tobacco
market with our innovative overwrapping solutions. Armed with the
expertise gained from
Ti
Americas,
Ti
is well prepared to penetrate
into other regions, especially the Middle East and Africa. Tobacco films from
Ti
meet the high standards required to
perform on the latest high speed, tobacco wrapping machines. Our portfolio includes non-shrink, shrink, high shrink,
as well as printable shrink tobacco films. TheWorld Tobacco Exhibition in Dubai, which was held during 1-2 April, 2014
at the Dubai World Trade Center, was an ideal start for our efforts in the Middle Eastern markets, as this exhibition
had a massive participation from the producers within the UAE.
