Packtech Tooling, based in Cape Town and led by Kim Naran, sits at the start of that system.

Packtech Tooling, a specialised manufacturing business based in Cape Town, has built a strong reputation within South Africa’s printing and packaging sector.

Today, the business is headed up by Managing Director Kim Naran, whose leadership reflects decades of hands-on industry experience.
