In July 2024, Blackwood's Managing Director Brian Liew led a company delegation to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where the team visited the Ministry of Trade and Industry. This important meeting resulted in a cooperation framework, reflecting a shared vision for the growth of Tanzania's packaging industry.
As part of the discussions, Blackwood expressed its intention to invest in a packaging box production project in Dar es Salaam, leveraging the region's strategic location and growing demand for high-quality packaging. The initiative is designed to support both local and international clients, providing reliable, sustainable, and innovative packaging solutions.
Mr. Liew emphasized that this investment aligns with Blackwood's global mission: to build a connected and sustainable packaging ecosystem while empowering regional economies. He noted that Tanzania, as a key hub in East Africa, offers immense potential for collaboration, growth, and shared prosperity.
The planned investment will not only bring advanced manufacturing capabilities to Tanzania but also create new opportunities for local employment, skills transfer, and sustainable business practices.
Blackwood's partnership with the Tanzanian government marks another milestone in the company's international expansion, reinforcing its role as a trusted global leader in premium packaging.
