Bottles, tubes, jars, canisters, and buckets are best made of plastic, which is also perfect for the circular economy. As a system supplier, ALPLA assists producers of consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and industrial items from the idea stage through pilot production to the mass manufacturing of end-to-end packaging solutions.
Bottle, preform, cap, decoration, tools, materials and design: ALPLA realises tailor-made products at 196 locations in 47 countries. The “Family of Pioneers” relies on almost 70 years of experience, product development centers all over the world, self-developed machines, flexible capacities and its own recycling plants. “The technological lead creates the basis for innovations. Global standards, regional presence and complete vertical integration enable the fast, flexible and cost-efficient market launch of new products,” emphasizes CEO Philipp Lehner.
5 milliters to 32 liters – with closure, cap or pump
ALPLA also supplies the closure and label to match the bottle and, on request, manufactures with high-quality recycled material from its own recycling plants. The broad product portfolio ranges from tiny and cleanroom-certified 5-milliliter bottles made of PE to reusable rPET bottles and mono-material soap dispenser pumps to the mighty 32-liter bucket made of PP. Depending on the requirements, the plastic packaging is food-safe, sterile, reusable, child-resistant, suitable for hazardous goods, anti-counterfeiting and consists of up to 100 percent post-consumer recycled material (PCR).
In close cooperation with forward-looking customers, the technical team develops more than 500 new production tools for bottles, preforms, closures and injection-moulded parts such as pumps, dosing systems or deodorant sticks every year. As an in-house partner, ALPLA sets up perfectly coordinated production lines directly at the customer’s premises, thus saving transport distances and manufacturing exactly as required. Internationally active brand manufacturers benefit from the worldwide production and sales network, regional companies from the global quality standard and know-how.
Specialization in different business areas
Beverages, food, cosmetics and care products, pharmaceuticals and OTC products, household cleaners, detergents and cleaning agents, motor oil, lubricants, paints, building materials, chemicals and more: packaging solutions from ALPLA store a wide range of contents and can be found in many industries. Concentrated know-how and tailor-made support are guaranteed by the specialised business units ALPLApharma, ALPLAindustrial, ALPLAinject and ALPLArecycling. They will focus human and mechanical resources on special applications, products and technologies. At the same time, the close integration within the ALPLA Group ensures short distances and synergies. For customers, this means everything from a single source instead of a long list of suppliers and interface losses.
