A remarkable portfolio of products. Aiming to lead by performance through its high-quality products, professional service, and impressive technical support, Shorko has developed a remarkable portfolio of products including tailored solutions for biscuits, confectionary, fresh produce, in-mould labelling, pressure-sensitive labelling, snack foods, and wrap-around labelling.
In the new millennium, Shorko has continued its traditions of excellence and innovation, investing in a state-of-the-art metallising and slitting capacity to service advanced-technology products, as well as boasting further technological improvements including the introduction of three- and fi ve-layer die, vacuum metallisers and slitters. According to Elie Jarrous, Chief Executive Officer of Shorko, this considerable development has been achieved steadily over the years. “The company’s inception was in 1982 and, following the purchase of a second line in 1989, Shorko started to grow within the local market. We initially worked supplying the fl exible packaging market, but expanded into providing a bigger variety of plastic fi lms. Following the purchase of the third line, our business operations expanded into the overseas export market,” he explains. “In 2003, the company grew further through investing in metallised coating to add value to our range of products. We continuously make to be outsourced. We can develop products based purely on our suppliers’ innovation, particularly in regard to resin products.
