ALPLA has acquired a 100% stake in the Italian company Propack Srl. The company, based in Ostellato, specializes in the production of HDPE and PET bottles for home care.
 
With this acquisition, the eighth plant in the country, ALPLA has expanded its production capacities in northeastern Italy. The product portfolio also complements its operations, with proximity to new potential customers in one of the most industrialized areas in Italy.
 
Propack was founded in 2002 under the leadership of Gianni Scapoli, who has developed the company as an exclusive supplier of bottles for the “mother-company” Biochimica, a leading producer of detergents. The deal is expected to be concluded by the middle of July 2017.
