Interplast: High Quality Plastic Pipe Solutions Producer in Ghana by Hayssam Fakhry

Hayssam Fakhry, Managing Director of Interplast Limited, a high quality plastic pipe solutions producer in Ghana, explains what are the company’s competitive advantages and talks about the importance of R&D.

“Our competitive advantage is first and foremost quality. We are extremely fussy on quality. We will not compromise. That is not only the quality of product but also the quality of service and after sales as well. Our competitors do not take as much care as we do. Our clients do not rely purely on our words. They take samples of our products to laboratories in Europe or even conduct their own tests here in house. Our products ultimately are above standard. Our products do not turnover much. Their life span is extremely long. Polyethylene pipes, for example, could last up to 100 years. So, we do not replace them on a regular basis, it is more replacement of other quality or very old pipelines or extensions of existing ones. Our products last a very long time, at least 20 years, some can go up to a 100”, says Hayssam Fakhry.

“We do a lot internally. Obviously, our suppliers and colleagues are a great help. Raw material suppliers are always staying on trends, on what is new. We also always go to fairs and shows and see what the new techniques and technologies are. We have a lot of discussions amongst ourselves. When we are driving around the streets of London, for example, and we see something, we will stop and take a look at it. Our industry is very specialized, so the trends tend to be quite obvious. It starts in Europe, then the US, then it carries down through the rest of the world”, he adds.
