Everpack: Manufacturer of Paperware and Plastic Disposable Products in West Africa

Karim Aschkar, Managing Director at Everpack, presents the company and its main products. Everpack was born in Ghana in 1998 and provides a wide variety of household tissue and plastic consumables for everyday needs, all around West Africa.

“We started to import some of our products which were quite bulky like paper napkins and facial tissue. Facial tissue is a growing product. People did not know much about it in the beginning. They wanted to use cloth handkerchiefs. We introduced our product, Akwaba, which means “welcome” and has a beautiful Ghanaian cloth design that people really appreciated. That has made people more used to using facial tissue. It was a very good thing for us. We are happy now that people are using the product more. It has become a part of the Ghanaian culture as a brand. We have many products in different lines. We have tissue paper, our napkin is very well known, our kitchen towel, and our toilet paper brand, Fluffy, is very famous. Many of our products are biodegradable, such as our trash bags. We also do paper and plastic versions of our products. A new trend now is paper straws because many countries are banning plastic straws. We also have paper cups. Some of the items have to be made out of plastic, but we have biodegradable plastics now as well”, says Karim Aschkar.
