In all the best success stories, it is not one person that makes the difference, but rather a <\/span>mot<\/span>i<\/span>vated<\/span> team of like-minded individuals that come together to <\/span>achieve a big goal<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>This is certainly true of RETAL Cyprus, the Limassol-based plastic packaging factory, part of RETAL Industries<\/span>, which celebrate<\/span>d<\/span> its fifth anniversary on 9<\/span>th<\/span> October<\/span> <\/span>this year<\/span>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The story <\/span>first <\/span>started with a big <\/span>inauguration<\/span> in 2015. The importance of RETAL opening and operating a successful factory in Cyprus, where it is headquartered, was clear from this event, as it was attended by the President of Cyprus Mr. Anastasiadis, <\/span>senior <\/span>local government officials, the President of RETAL Anatoly <\/span>Martynov<\/span>, all of RETAL’s board of directors<\/span>,<\/span> and its global custom<\/span>ers<\/span>. The event was widely <\/span>publicised<\/span> as it highlighted the <\/span>importance<\/span> of opening such a modern factory in Cyprus.<\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

RETAL’s plans in <\/span>this<\/span> strategically important region<\/span> –<\/span> the south part of Europe<\/span> –<\/span> have come true<\/span>. T<\/span>oday it is a successful and <\/span>dynamically developing business that <\/span>contributes to the C<\/span>yprus economy. The <\/span>company\u2019s<\/span> president <\/span>Mr<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>Martynov<\/span> <\/span>no<\/span>tes<\/span>, \u201cRETAL has over 20 years of experience in the production of plastic packaging. <\/span>It is the synergy of our deep understanding of the industry and significant investments in <\/span>our<\/span> modern plant <\/span>that <\/span>ar<\/span>e key to the <\/span>achievements<\/span> of RETAL in Cyprus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the facility\u2019s impressive equipment and investment<\/span>,<\/span> is the unquantifiable advantage of RETAL Cyprus \u2013 its <\/span>engaged, enthusiastic, and highly trained staff.<\/span> <\/span>General <\/span>manager<\/span> Mr. Hagai Golan <\/span>shares<\/span>: \u201cWe started from practically a greenfield site. There were <\/span>almost<\/span> no specialists in our industry in Cyprus. <\/span>We recruited people with technical skills<\/span>,<\/span> trained them<\/span> <\/span>and together we are achieving our goals<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>We have enjoyed great support in training from our colleagues in other RETAL plants, bringing their expertise to us here in Cyprus. <\/span>Our team certainly helped us a great deal d<\/span>uring coronavirus crisis<\/span>; <\/span>our<\/span> plant operate<\/span>d<\/span> without interruption and the demand for our products has remained stable<\/span>. <\/span>All of this<\/span> allows us to look confidently to the future.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

RETAL global key account manager Nedko Nedev concludes, \u201cRETAL Cyprus is a game changer <\/span>– <\/span>one of the leaders in the region. <\/span>In our first five years we’ve <\/span>established<\/span> <\/span>high quality standards and reliab<\/span>le<\/span> business relationships with our <\/span>local and global customers. Today<\/span>,<\/span> about 95<\/span>% <\/span>of PET packaging for water, beverages and dairy products in Cyprus is produced by RETAL. Also, our products are in <\/span>demand outside Cyprus<\/span>, being<\/span> exported to Greece, Israel and African countries. RETAL Cyprus plans to expand <\/span>our<\/span> product range and <\/span>sales geography <\/span>in the near future<\/span>.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

RETAL Cyprus pays great attention to environmental issues<\/span>, with e<\/span>xtensive<\/span> investment <\/span>in solar panel<\/span>s<\/span> <\/span>currently providing around 25% of the factory’s electricity requirements<\/span>. The company produces <\/span>sustainable <\/span>plastic packaging and <\/span>utilise<\/span>s<\/span> its R&D <\/span>capabilities to offer l<\/span>ightweight<\/span>ed<\/span> products<\/span> <\/span>with a design-to-recycle approach <\/span>and tethered closures<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span>Promoting the principles of a circular economy, RETAL Cyprus<\/span> <\/span>is actively involved in projects related to <\/span>rPET<\/span> usage, carries out plastic pollution awareness initiatives<\/span>,<\/span> and takes part in cleanup activities to improve <\/span>the ecology of the island.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

RETAL Cyprus also takes part in the social life of the country, sponsoring the Apollon Ladies football team, with <\/span>both groups<\/span> participat<\/span>ing<\/span> in environmental activities aiming to raise public awareness<\/span> in Cyprus<\/span> on plastic usage.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>its <\/span>first five years, <\/span>RETAL Cyprus<\/span> has become an integral part of the global RETAL company. <\/span>I<\/span>n the early months, specialists from other RETAL facilities came to Limassol to share the<\/span>ir<\/span> experience. <\/span>Today, RETAL Cyprus is a hub for key business decisions, strategic planning sessions, and <\/span>analysing<\/span> <\/span>results for the whole group<\/span>. <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The team has ambitious goals, and we hope that by <\/span>the<\/span> next <\/span>anniversary we will <\/span>have even more to share<\/span> about the <\/span>latest<\/span> achievements of RETAL Cyprus.<\/span><\/p>\n
