Production site near Johannesburg bundles activities from five existing plants. ALPLA Group, an international specialist for plastic packaging and recycling, is building a factory in the province of Gauteng for manufacturing according to the latest production standards. The groundbreaking work began in February 2020 and completion of the building is scheduled for summer 2021.

In the past five years, ALPLA has significantly expanded its market presence in Africa with acquisitions and cooperation agreements. This included in particular the acquisition of the African market leader for PET preforms, PET bottles and closures Boxmore Packaging in 2017. With the construction of a new production site in South Africa, the international specialist for plastic packaging and recycling is now creating the basis for long-term growth and competitiveness in the Sub-Saharan African region. As part of a consolidation, the production of five existing plants in Harrismith, Denver, Isando, Kempton Park and Samrand will be transferred to the new plant in Lanseria.
