In 2000, as a result of restructuring and diversifying our product base, ACI looked at the possibility of converting Toilet Rolls. In October 2000, the machinery arrived and was installed in our Mombasa plant. We began operations of Tena toilet rolls in December 2001 and Tena became an instant success story. The enormous market response to a Kenyan made product, Tena instantly changed the face of the toilet tissue market of Kenya after over thirty years of virtual stagnation. It was a clear sign that the incumbent suppliers had forgot the consumer.Tena is a Swahili word that means "again". It was anticipated that once one used a Tena product they would return again and again. "True to its name and expectations those who had used Tena always come back for more”, says the Sales and Marketing Executive, Sugu Anjarwalla. She adds that through research revealed that the consumer market was yeaning for an affordable, white, quality toilet paper - one that the common mwananchi could easily afford especially considering the economic status of the market.In October 2002 a decision was made to relocate the Tena operations to Nairobi, the economic hub of the East & Central African region, production in our Mombasa Road premises near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport began by the end of October." today we employ over 450 persons in our Nairobi site, all involved in distribution & toilet paper operations.

Manufacturing
In 1992, GP first introduced injection-moulded "thin-wall" containers used for cooking fats. This new plastic packaging replaced the traditionally used tin containers, and marked a major shift from tin to plastic containers by the manufacturers of edible oils in the region. This was the first injection moulding process available in East Africa and GPL gained many customers who previously relied on tin containers.
In 1996, GP pioneered the use of stretch blow moulding technology in East Africa, using food grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as a raw material. This process is used in the manufacture of packaging for food and chemical products such as mineral water bottles, and containers for the pharmaceuticals, juice and cosmetics industries.
In early 1997, GPL bought out Vitaplast Ltd which had been started the previous year as a competitor to GP's packaging manufacturing business. Subsequently Vitapalst Ltd merged with General Plastics Ltd.
General Plastics has continued to initiate innovative plastic packaging solutions for local industries
