THE name “Seow Khim Polythelene Co” might not ring a bell, but the SKP acronym might be more familiar. Its 46 retail outlets across Singapore are known for offering disposable cutlery, partyware and stationery – though the company’s roots lie in plastic food-packaging.

SKP is Singapore’s largest supplier of disposable food-packaging, with two factories in Singapore and Malaysia.
