Tsoro Manufacturing has installed a flexible packaging line that produces pouches and wraps for snacks, dry foods and household products.
The company, founded as a printing works in 1987, is led by executive chairman Kudakwashe Marufu, the founder's son. He says the line lets the business serve brands that previously imported their packaging.
“If a Zimbabwean snack brand wants to be on a shelf in Gaborone, its packaging has to look like it belongs there.”

Tsoro is also trialling cartons made with recycled fibre and offering short print runs for small food businesses.
