Sabicor Engineering Plc is a modern company with core specialisation in extrusion and injection of plastics. We work closely with Med Tech, construction and utility customers to deliver the demand of industrial expansion and realize value particularly in Ethiopia and East Africa.

We're on track in establishing a state-of-the-art injection molding manufacturing facility in Ethiopia dedicated to the mass production of high-quality, low-regulatory, Class I medical plastic products. This facility will serve as a regional hub, supplying the growing demand for essential healthcare items across Ethiopia and neighboring East African markets. The venture is designed to leverage advanced automation, sustainable practices, and local resources to produce a broad portfolio of medical plastics that meet international standards while maintaining affordability and operational efficiency.

Our manufacturing plant will focus on producing a diverse range of medical plastic items that are critical for healthcare delivery, diagnostics, and patient care. The products are selected based on their high market demand, low regulatory barriers, ease of manufacturing via injection molding, and compatibility with low-cost, readily available raw materials such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The product lines include:

• Rapid Diagnostic Testing & Assay Components

  • + Lateral flow assay cassettes (pregnancy, COVID-19, malaria, HIV, flu testing)

  • + Plastic housings for test strips (customizable for various assays)

• Sample Collection & Laboratory Accessories

  • + Sample collection tubes (saliva, urine, blood)

  • + Test tube racks and Dropper bottles and caps

  • + Buffer solution containers (small reagent vials)

  • + Specimen containers (urine/stool cups and vials)

• Blood Collection and Diagnostic Tubes

  • + Plastic Vacutainer tubes (lightweight, shatter-resistant)

  • + Serum separating tubes with gel

  • + EDTA tubes for hematology

  • + Plasma separation tubes

  • + Capillary blood collection tubes for pediatric or fingerstick samples
