Businesses and Operations

COBA Impact Manufacturing PLC, located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, launched its operations in 2011. Specifically, it joined forces with Universal Plastic Factory PLC (UPF). UPF is owned by an Italian family whose industrial heritage in Ethiopia dates back to the late 1900s.

For instance, Universal Plastic Factory PLC is a leader in glass bottle crate manufacturing in Ethiopia and supplies almost the entire local beverage industry. Its clients include EASBC Coca-Cola, SAB Miller, BGI (Castel Group), Heineken, Diageo, as well as many local beverage producers. Because of this long-standing industrial experience, COBA Impact Manufacturing Ethiopia benefits from a strong foundation in operations and high product quality standards.

Today, COBA Impact Manufacturing Ethiopia is a proud leader in Ethiopia in the following manufacturing and recycling businesses:

• Collection and recycling of PET bottles and HDPE plastics into reusable flakes for export markets

• Production of polyester monofilament fibers for brooms and brushes converted from recycled PET flakes

• Manufacturing of household and outdoor brooms made entirely from recycled plastic materials

Through these activities, COBA Impact Manufacturing Ethiopia contributes to waste reduction, resource efficiency, and sustainable industrial growth. At the same time, it supports environmental protection and social well-being.
