One of the Middle East's leading manufacturers of pharmaceutical glass packaging, RAK Ghani Glass, is entering the EU market. The move will involve competitive rates for its high-quality lightweight USP type III amber bottles for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. According to the company's sole UK agent, Eurofusion, the decision to launch into new territory demonstrates the strengthening of the Middle East as a glass manufacturing centre, thanks to government investments (part of a strategy to move away from the dependency on the petrodoller), along with the abundance of energy and raw materials in the region. The company's packaging conforms to US and EU pharmacopoeia standards, and bottles are available in both EU standard and customs sizes, dimensions and finishes.
