Alpla grows through acquisition in Italy
Alpla, a global provider of plastic packaging, has acquired a 100 per cent stake in the Italian company Propack Srl. The company, based in Ostellato (FE), is specialised in the production of HDPE and PET bottles for home-care. The agreement has been signed in mid June. The deal is expected to be concluded by the middle of July 2017. With this acquisition, the eighth plant in the country, Alpla has expanded its production capacities in the North-East of 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 company employs about 20 people and its focus is in the production of HDPE and PET bottles for Italian customers.
