The government and private sector leaders have called for closer collaboration to unlock the full potential of Kenya‘s packaging, printing and graphics industry.

They said investment in technology, innovation and supportive policies will be critical in accelerating industrialisation, boosting exports and positioning Kenya as Africa‘s manufacturing hub.

The appeal was made during the launch of the Africa 4P Expo, an international exhibition focusing on plastics, packaging, printing and petrochemicals, where industry leaders said the sector remains one of the most overlooked yet indispensable pillars of manufacturing and trade.
