Packaging
Division
MFCB’s Packaging Division activities are primarily carried out by two subsidiary groups – Stenta Films (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad (“Stenta Group”) and Hexachase Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (“Hexachase Group”) .
Stenta Group
Stenta Group began operations in January 1993 and currently operates 3 strategically located factories in the industrial town of Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia.
Its films serve a wide range of industries, including food packaging, general overwrap, labels, adhesive tapes, and more. Stenta Group exports its products across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and Europe.
Hexachase Group
The Hexachase Group consists of three key subsidiaries – Hexachase Labels Sdn. Bhd. (“Hexachase Labels”), Hexachase Packaging Sdn. Bhd. (“Hexachase Packaging”), and Hexachase Flexipack Sdn. Bhd. (“Hexachase Flexipack”).
Hexachase Labels was founded in 1996, followed by the addition of Hexachase Packaging in 2002. In 2015, Hexachase Flexipack was established with a mission to develop innovative and sustainable packaging solutions guided by a strong “green conscience”.
The group offers a diverse product line, ranging from high-quality printed labels and stickers to paper bags and laminated flexible packaging. These products serve reputable industries, including food and beverages, FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods), electronics, and retail, both locally and globally.
Hexachase Group is headquartered in Malacca, Malaysia.
Flexible Packaging
Materials
Consumers all over the world are becoming increasingly concerned about the damaging impact of packaging solutions on the environment. There is a notable shift in demand from our customers, especially multinationals, towards more sustainable forms of packaging materials. For example, customers are transitioning from plastic bags to paper bags, hard plastic containers to lightweight flexible plastic wrappers, and from multi-material structures to single-material flexible plastic packaging that is more easily recyclable.
Our Packaging Division is well-equipped to address these evolving needs.
In light of this demand shift, Stenta, a leading manufacturer of flexible packaging films such as Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film (“BOPP”) and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene Film (“LLDPE”), was acquired with a 75% equity interest on 28 July 2021. This acquisition was made to strengthen the Division’s product development and innovation capabilities, improve supply chain management, and enhance customer satisfaction. For instance, these films serve as raw materials for Hexachase Group’s flexible packaging segment, which specialises in converting flexible materials into packaging for various industries.
In 2024, the group undertook a major expansion initiative that is substantially increasing its production capacity for BOPP and LLDPE films. This initiative is ongoing and will continue into 2025. It takes a strategic approach, expanding ahead of market demand rather than reacting to it. This strengthens its ability to adapt to future industry needs.
