STARTING NEW PRINTING AND PACKAGING INDUSTRY IN MANSEHRA


STARTING NEW PRINTING AND PACKAGING INDUSTRY IN MANSEHRA
(I/O Based Model)

 

In Hazara industrial sector is signs of revival helped by improved security, gas supply and the federal government’s incentives package after conflict between Army and Taliban.
In Swat’s 317 industrial concerns have resumed their activities. Among them are manufacturers of cosmetic products, yarn looms, and plastic manufacturers. A pharmaceutical company has started its operations after about two years. The unit once employed over 400 workers, all of whom lost jobs when it was shutdown. Buner all of the 179 marble units and a score of marble quarries went out of operations in April 2008. However, the bad patch seems to be over, as businesses are reported to be on path to recovery. In the Gadoon-Amanzai industrial estate, a foam manufacturing unit and a plastic manufacturing plant started operation after remaining closed for quite some time during Army Operation.
 Their revival is being attributed to the federal government’s incentive package announced last year. Announced in January 2010, the package came into effect from March that year. It was aimed at off-setting the adverse effects the businesses and industries suffered due to militancy.
Federal excise duty has been reduced to zero on goods produced in the ‘most affected areas’ and to 50 per cent in the ‘moderately affected areas.’ Similarly, all registered KP companies are entitled to 100 per cent income tax exemption for a period of three years and 50 per cent sales tax exemption for a period of two years.
Mardan is largely an agricultural area. The major crops are wheat, sugarcane, tobacco, maize, rice, rapeseed, mustard and various vegetable crops.  Important fruits are orange, plum, peach, apricot, pear, rare mango and apple.
 Manufacturing has also grown over the years and so has the financial sector where the town centre has become home to many national and international banks
Industries include a well-established sugar mill, The Premier Sugar Mill and small to large cigarette manufacturing industries, besides various other large and small industrial units such as flour and paper mills. Some small sector industries of gur (jaggery), tobacco leaf processing, tiles, soaps, marble, and bricks are also present.


I want to start a Printing & Packaging Company in Mansehra. Packaging is to provide wrapping and container solution to those customers who want to protect their product from external environment and need a container to contain their product. Major customers of Packaging business are those who are manufacturing sweets, cosmetics, food products, agricultural products, textiles, handicrafts and many more FMCG.
