Thin-Wall Injection Molding Machine Supplier for Algeria

Algeria's food packaging market is estimated at USD 2.0-2.5 billion in 2025, with plastic packaging growing at 6-7% annually driven by the country's young population (median age 28.9 years) and expanding organized retail sector. The dairy industry, valued at approximately USD 3.5 billion, is the largest in the Maghreb region with annual milk production exceeding 3.5 billion liters. Major dairy brands include Soummam, Danone Algerie, Trefle (Groupe Benamor), and Hodna, all requiring substantial volumes of yogurt cups and dairy containers. Algeria's plastics processing industry includes approximately 150-200 injection molding companies concentrated in Algiers, Setif, Bejaia, and Constantine. Import dependency for injection molding machinery exceeds 90%, with Chinese brands gaining significant market share. Import duty for HS 8477 is 5% with 19% TVA (value added tax). Algeria's government actively promotes local manufacturing through its plan to reduce finished goods imports, creating favorable conditions for machinery investment in food packaging production.

HWAMDA offers complete turnkey packages optimized for Algerian market requirements. A standard yogurt cup line includes: HMD 400M8-SPV machine, 12-cavity yogurt cup mold with YUDO hot runner system, SWITEK 3-axis robot with stacking function, process chiller (30kW cooling capacity), hopper dryer, and material conveying system. Total package price: USD 210,000-290,000. This line produces approximately 7,700 yogurt cups per hour at 4-second cycle time and 85% OEE, reaching 4.3 million cups monthly. For food container production: HMD 480M8-SPV, 6-cavity food container mold, SWITEK robot, chiller (45kW), and auxiliaries at USD 260,000-350,000. Output reaches 3,100-4,300 containers per hour at 5-7 second cycles. HWAMDA provides factory layout drawings, utility specifications (power, water, compressed air requirements), and foundation design recommendations specific to Algerian construction standards. Installation, commissioning, and operator training are included in the turnkey package, with HWAMDA engineers spending 14-21 days on-site to ensure stable production before handover.

Algeria imports approximately 85% of its PP resin requirements, primarily from Saudi Arabia (SABIC, Advanced Petrochemical), UAE (Borouge), and Europe. Landed PP pricing in Algerian ports (Algiers, Bejaia, Oran) averages USD 1,300-1,500/MT including duties and clearing charges. Algeria's petrochemical development plans aim to increase domestic polymer production capacity through SONATRACH partnerships. For thin-wall dairy cups, specify PP homopolymer with MFI 40-55 g/10min such as SABIC 520P or Borouge HJ325MO. Processing on the SPV5 uses barrel temperatures of 220-250C with mold temperature of 25-35C. Algeria's Mediterranean coastal climate provides moderate ambient temperatures (15-35C) year-round, requiring standard chiller sizing without the oversizing needed for extreme climate markets. Humidity levels of 60-80% in coastal industrial zones (Algiers, Bejaia) require proper material drying with dehumidifying hopper dryer maintaining -35C dewpoint. For producers serving Algeria's halal food market, all packaging materials must comply with Algerian food-contact standards under CACQE (Centre Algérien du Contrôle de la Qualité et de l'Emballage) requirements.

HWAMDA ships to Algerian ports of Algiers, Bejaia, and Oran with transit times of 22-28 days from Shanghai via Mediterranean routing. Algerian import procedures require Domiciliation Bancaire (bank import license), D10 customs declaration, CNAS social security compliance certificate, and certificate of origin. Import duty at 5% for HS 8477 plus 19% TVA applies, with TVA recoverable for registered enterprises. Algeria's import regulations require CACES (Certificat d'Aptitude de Conformité aux Exigences de Sécurité) compliance for industrial machinery, which the SPV5's CE marking documentation facilitates. Payment is typically by irrevocable confirmed LC through Algerian banks (BNA, BEA, CPA). HWAMDA's French-speaking technical support team handles Algerian customer communications, with remote diagnostic support available within 8 hours. On-site service reaches Algeria within 5-7 days via direct flights from China to Algiers. Spare parts ship via air freight with 7-10 day delivery. Plast Alger (annual, Algiers SAFEX exhibition center) is the primary plastics industry trade event. HWAMDA maintains agent representation for North African markets to provide local pre-sales consultation and after-sales coordination.
