The paper and plastics packaging company expects its plastics business to continue to struggle in the new financial year

13 March 2019 - 19:45The sugar tax and lower demand from bottling firms continue to stifle Mpact’s plastics business, CEO Bruce Strong says.

The plastics unit also experienced a strike towards the end of 2018, with the National Union of Metalworkers of SA demanding higher wages.
