In line with its 2024 strategic priorities, the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) supported the expansion project of Gulf Closures, a joint venture between Aptar Group, one of the world’s largest providers of packaging solutions for beverages, food commodities, cosmetics, household cleaning products, and medicines, and Al Zayani Industries, a leading Bahrain-based industrial conglomerate.
The initiative supports the expansion of a manufacturing plant, Gulf Closures, aimed at producing high-quality packaging products in the Kingdom of Bahrain to serve the Middle East and North Africa region.
Tamkeen’s support for the project includes training for Bahraini talents in the company, representing 78% of the workforce, as well as supporting the partial acquisition of state-of-the-art machinery and equipment for the factory, contributing to the expected creation of approximately 20 new job opportunities for local talent.
Tamkeen will also support the participation of five Bahrainis in a specialised training programme at Aptar’s European headquarters through its “Global Ready Talent Programme” to ensure they are equipped with the required technical skills in operating the cutting-edge equipment provided for the factory. “We are proud of our pivotal role in supporting the expansion of Gulf Closures through this impactful partnership between two regional and global industry leaders,” said
