With facilities at Obajana and other locations, DPL produces woven and laminated polypropylene sacks, jumbo bags, open market bags, and shopping bags, essential for internal use and external markets. Production began at 5 million bags/month and has since expanded significantly to meet domestic and commercial demand.
Production & Capacity Expansion
Following the launch of new state-of-the-art machinery in early 2025, DPL’s output has increased from 36 million to 52 million polypropylene bags per month, positioning it for export readiness across West, Central, and Southern Africa.
