    Fortiflex’s Entire Production Transferred to ALPLA Plant in Guayama, Puerto Rico

    ALPLA and Fortiflex first collaborated in 2017 in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

    06.10.19
    ALPLA Caribe and Fortiflex Inc. signed a strategic alliance back in 2018, thereby creating a contractual basis for an interim solution. The aim is for them to establish themselves as the preferred packaging producer in the Caribbean and in Central America.
     
    ALPLA and Fortiflex first collaborated in 2017 in the wake of Hurricane Maria. ALPLA was able to get the power supply at its production plant in Guayama, Puerto Rico, back up and running quickly after the damage caused by the storm, unlike Fortiflex. 
     
    “We were originally only meant to handle some of Fortiflex’s production temporarily,’ said Richard Lisch, Regional Manager with ALPLA Caribe, ‘but a partnership that worked well developed between us, and we then made it official with our strategic alliance.”
     
    In accordance with the agreement, ALPLA will take on all of Fortiflex’s production for a 10-year period. A total of 12 injection moulding machines were transferred from Dorado to the ALPLA plant in Guayama in autumn 2018. Approximately 30 new jobs have been created at the site. The contracting partners have agreed not to disclose any further details.
     
    Fortiflex Inc. was founded in 1976 and is well known in the Caribbean and in Central America for the high quality of its products. Its product portfolio includes waterers, troughs and crates for the agricultural sector and thin-walled containers for decorating and building needs as well as for food. ALPLA also offers product decoration, as did Fortiflex, using offset printing, heat transfer or in-mould labelling (IML) to apply high-quality imprints to the packaging.
     
    “An emergency situation resulted in collaboration that offers advantages to both parties,” said Lisch positively. “ALPLA’s global presence and Fortiflex’s regional reputation are helping us in jointly positioning ourselves as the preferred manufacturer of innovative packaging solutions in this region.”
