Dear Customers, Dear Colleagues, Here we are, mid-year 2014, and I see no respite in our level of activity. I had the pleasure to meet many of you during Interpack, and was able to judge the intensity and the strategic value of our common interests. For Taghleef Industries, this was an outstanding event, where we could feel the pulse of the market and verify the relevance of our offerings. I was also able to spend time with each of the Ti executives that were present, enjoying privileged moments in the building of our group. We are welcoming a new member to Taghleef Industries, Derprosa Film from Spain, as we continue our quest to strengthen our product and asset portfolio, clearly this time, with an organization anchored in the specialties sector. I am curious to witness how fast our teams will deploy the unique know-how of this company, and how much Derprosa’s management will influence Ti so we may become an even better organization. In regard to our internal growth, I would like to salute our Egyptian colleagues, and our European Sales force, for the successful ramp-up of the new line at 6th of October City, as well as our engineering specialists, who are already busy on the next large investments for Terre Haute in the USA and for Tiszaújváros in Hungary. Challenges remain on all fronts for sure. Yet once again, I see Taghleef Industries in a stronger position than a year before. Thank you, and let us keep the pace.

More than one year later, we can proudly announce that Derprosa is part of the strongest powerhouse, worldwide, in the BoPP industry. For 25 years, the Derprosa brand has been synonymous with technical excellence, innovation and quality, but mostly, its tailored solutions.The opportunity to team up with Ti adds the global distinctiveness to our DNA, opening a place under the motto “think globally, act locally”. Beyond synergies, reach, efficiencies and scales, this stage requires of us, and at the same time gives us, a great opportunity to change our way of thinking, and action, in pursuit of a new goal: Return to the market a greater added value than Derprosa and Ti had provided independently in the past. It invites us to find a new level of excellence, to focus our efforts on continuous innovation in the constant search for new solutions, and above all, love what we do and those who do it. For the old Derprosa, now Ti, today is a great opportunity to incorporate the best performances without losing our essence, service mindset, innovation, and creation of previously unknown needs, and promote them to bring our global solutions to each local market. For the current global-leading Ti, it’s a magnificent opportunity to extend the model of excellence to all market segments, and also incorporating to its proposal, a previously unattended and complementary product offering. In a nutshell, we’ll be adding the finest of each, so that the result is not two, but 4. From here, I encourage you to visit this new member of the family, Ti, and see the enormous value that this powerful union will return to the market in the coming years. And that, no doubt, will make a difference. Let´s film, let´s Taghleef!
