The ALPLA Group increased its turnover in the 2021 financial year by 8.4% to €4 billion. In addition to investments in recycling and in the development of bio-based and biodegradable plastics, the company expanded through acquisitions and participations.
Since January 2021, ALPLA CEO Philipp Lehner has been the third generation to lead the internationally active family business.
“We have put ourselves in a strong position internationally in recent years, invested in the recyclability of plastics and in new technologies and materials, and achieved a new sales record in 2021. We want to secure this positive development sustainably and in the long term,” said Lehner.
Since 2021, the ALPLA Group has invested an average of 50 million euros annually in the expansion of recycling activities. By 2025, the recycling loops are to be closed in as many regions as possible.
“Our customers’ demand for high-quality recycled materials is also growing outside Europe. In the long term, we want to cover between 70% and 80% of demand with our own production,” said Lehner.
Growth of 3% to 5% is the target for the 2022 financial year.
“Numerous projects and acquisitions in the USA, Mexico, Asia-Pacific region and Western Europe enable us to strengthen existing and enter new product and market segments,” Lehner said.
