History.

Obeikan MDF (OMDF) was incorporated in late 2007 by the Obeikan Group (www.obeikan.com.sa) and a local partner.

Located in Canet d’En Berenguer, Valencia, Spain, where the Company has its production facilities, it manufactures packaging for different applications and industries.

Operations started in late 2008 supplying the Spanish agricultural sector with innovative value added solutions for fruits and vegetables. Through the past years the company has gradually increased its output serving customers in most parts of Spain and various other countries.

Today, the company is fully owned by the Obeikan Group. It employs over 120 people who are engaged in manufacturing millions of boxes for fresh fruit producers.

OMDF features a state of the art R&D facility that hosts a highly qualified team of packaging professionals who are focused in providing solutions for our customers.

The Company registers a number of patents for utility models every year, fruit of its continuous efforts in the field. The patented packaging system consists of a box interlocking solution that enables the construction of medium density fiber boxes without the need of any metal staples nor glue. The system provides a wide range of advantages, such as perfect stacking, automatic palletization, increased structural resistance, improved ventilation and a host of additional benefits.

The year 2012 has been a landmark for the Company with the incorporation of our own developed first high speed laser cutting line responding to the increased demand from the markets.

OMDF operates the production, customer service, technical service and innovation process in Valencia. The Company’s growth plan will see it opening offices and affiliates in an increasing number of countries in the years to come.

Growth Plan.

Following a particularly positive reception on one of the world’s largest fruits exporting market, Spain, Obeikan MDF has initiated a geographical expansion program. Although for the moment manufacturing facilities are located in Valencia (Spain), benefiting from the low logistic costs of unassembled boxes, assembled later very close to the place of packing.

Customers in Benelux, France, USA, UK, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco or Chile have started using Obeikan MDF packaging system for their high value products. Benefiting from the investment capacity of OMDF’s shareholder, Obeikan Group, in the coming years larger manufacturing capacities shall be available for the export of packaging produced in Spain. Furthermore the Company is planning the set up of new manufacturing sites in other countries where high volume of value added fruits are being exported.
