e.  Technology to extend product shelf life
 
Our programs includes assisting etrepreneurs to identify and source suitable equipment, material and technology in the food processing and  packaging industry.  
LIMITATION OF SMEs
Most SMEs face difficulty to market their products to the premium markets (hypermarkets, hotels, export, etc.) due to various reasons. 
The main reasons is said to be inferior packaging quality. However packaging is not just about design and packaging material. It is the final process of food production involving technology, system, equipment and material.
Product shelf life is also of main concern to the SMEs. Their products has short shelf life, the quality is not stable or not consistant. As a result, their market is limited and their business cannot grow.
EXTENDING PRODUCT SHELF LIFE

There are several methods available to SMEs to extend food / product shelf life, as follows :

            1.  Vacuum Packaging Technology

            2.  Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
 
            3.  Blast Chilling and Shock Freezing
             4.  Retort Flexible Packaging Technology
 

             5. Oxygen Absober

 
The suitability of each technology depends on the products to be package, duration of required shelf life and the market to penetrate.
 
Our management have been involved in the production of packaging material (for more than 30 years) and have been active in the SME development in Malaysia (through NGOs) since 1975.


We hope to share  our experience  with the SMEs to simplify their packaging problems and reduce their packaging cost, so that they are able to compete in the ever challenging local and the global market.
