From May 2023, the Alpla Group will market all activities relating to large-volume plastic packaging for industry and commerce, such as buckets, canisters and their closure systems, under Alplaindustrial. Following the acquisition of Wolf Plastics, the company is thus consolidating the subsidiary's portfolio, expanding it to include post-consumer recyclate (PCR) products and creating the basis for further growth.
Since autumn 2021, the Alpla Group has been supplying via the subsidiary Wolf Plastics international key accounts from the food, chemical and construction industries with high-quality plastic buckets, canisters, bottles and closures. The globally active packaging and recycling specialist is now bundling the product division under the new Alplaindustrial brand, thereby intensifying its Commitment to large-volume plastic packaging for industry and professional use.
„The circular economy, sustainability and safety are key criteria for packaging solutions of the future in all sectors. We are also contributing our many years of expertise in product design and recycling to industrial and commercial applications and are continuing our successful course with the establishment of the new business division.
Rainer Widmar, Alpla Managing Director Central and Eastern Europe
The rebranding of Wolf Plastics to Alplaindustrial will take place during the course of the year.
Alplaindustrial currently manufactures around 400 products at its three production sites in Austria (Kammern), Hungary (Fertőszentmiklós) and Romania (Bucharest). The buckets, canisters and bottles can be customised using in-mould labelling.
By introducing its own recycling line with up to 100 per cent PCR, Alpla is also offering customers from industry and commerce a climate-friendly alternative. „Our innovative solutions are the Ideal preparation for future regulations and thus enable a competitive advantage,“ emphasises Widmar.
