ALPLA is expanding in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region with a new plant at a second location in Thailand. The modern plant in Chachoengsao, near Bangkok, combines all production technologies, technical center and STUDIOa, the one-stop-shop for design, on a 24,000 square meter site.

The global packaging and recycling specialist is increasing capacity, expanding its portfolio and offering safe, affordable and sustainable full-system solutions made of plastic to numerous industries and markets.

After a year of construction, the international packaging and recycling specialist opened the modern plant in Thailand. In addition to production and administration, the new, 24,000-square-meter building in Chachoengsao, near Bangkok, includes a technical center for product development and the first STUDIOa in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region for designing new packaging solutions with customers. With its second location in Thailand, ALPLA is multiplying its production capacity in the country. Chachoengsao is replacing Prachinburi as the headquarters and expanding the portfolio to include injection molding (IM) and one-step injection stretch-blow molding (ISBM) technologies.

‘Our involvement in Thailand more than 20 years ago represented the start of our activities in Southeast Asia and is still central to our growth today. The flagship plant in Chachoengsao covers all the needs of our customers and unlocks new opportunities in the market,’ emphasizes ALPLA CEO Philipp Lehner. The opening on 11 February 2025 saw roughly 200 high-ranking guests on site, including Pongpol Yodmuangcharoen (secretary to the minister of industry), Austrian ambassador Wilhelm Donko and Michael Friedl from the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.

Capacity increase and portfolio expansion

ALPLA is going to manufacture high-quality plastic bottles, preforms, matching closures and injection-molded parts in Chachoengsao using all core technologies. One focus is on one-step injection stretch-blow molding (ISBM) and injection molding (IM), which are two newly introduced technologies. ‘The all-in-one concept strengthens our leading role as a system provider for safe, affordable and sustainable plastic packaging from a single source. Chachoengsao combines technological diversity, the highest quality and customer service under one roof. In this way, we wish to expand our market share and unlock new segments,’ says Roland Wallner, ALPLA managing director, Asia Pacific region (APAC).

All production lines have been produced in series since the beginning of 2025. More than 190 skilled workers are employed in Chachoengsao. The new location in the Bangkok metropolitan region stands out for its customer proximity and optimal connections. At its first plant in Prachinburi, ALPLA will concentrate fully on extrusion blow molding (EBM) in the future.

High-growth Thai market

In 2022, ALPLA consolidated its business in Southeast Asia and China to form the new Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. That same year, the company entered recycling as a joint venture partner of Thai company PTT Global Chemical. The joint state-of-the-art recycling plant ENVICCO in Rayong province supplies 30,000 tonnes of food-grade recycled PET material (rPET) and 15,000 tons of recycled HDPE material (rHDPE) annually.

‘In Thailand, we are also growing together with our customers. With two high-performance production plants and the recycling plant, we are securing the long-term supply of sustainable packaging solutions and strengthening the nationwide circular economy,’ explains Daniel Qiu, ALPLA General Manager Thailand. ALPLA now also offers added value for better products with STUDIOa as well as the technical centre. The innovative one-stop-shop for product design includes customers right from the development phase and creates more sustainable packaging thanks to lightweighting and design for recycling.

ALPLA is one of the world’s leading companies for the production and recycling of plastic packaging. Approximately 24,350 employees produce customized packaging systems, bottles, closures and injection-molded parts at 200 locations in 46 countries globally. The areas of application are for food and beverages, cosmetics and care products, household cleaners, detergents and cleaning agents, pharmaceuticals, motor oil and lubricants.

ALPLA continued its growth trajectory in 2024 with new products, plants, business areas, acquisitions and a focus on training skilled workers. The international packaging and recycling specialist increased its turnover from 4.7 to 4.9 billion euros and grew its workforce to 24,350 employees. ALPLA is broadening its targets for the recycling sector. The company plans to double its output recycling capacity to 700,000 tonnes of recycled material by 2030.

Founded in 1955, the ALPLA Group produces safe, affordable and sustainable plastic packaging solutions worldwide. The family-owned company, headquartered in Hard, Austria, can look back on a successful financial year in 2024 and continues to grow after a moderate decline in sales in the previous year. The annual turnover of 4.9 billion euros represents an increase of 4 per cent compared to 2023.

There has been significant growth in the number of sites and employees. ALPLA has reached the 200-plant mark and created more than a thousand new jobs through new business areas, acquisitions and training programs. A total of 24,350 employees work at 200 locations in 46 countries – 365 of them are apprentices. This record figure underlines the importance of professional training for the company’s future.

Growth markets and innovation

‘Plastic packaging shapes the lives of billions of people. As a technological market leader, we are making it increasingly lighter and more sustainable. We will continue to invest in this worldwide,’ says CEO Philipp Lehner. In addition to the strong growth markets in South America, Africa and the Middle East, demand in North and Central America also recovered in 2024.

ALPLA is also experiencing an upward trend in Europe. However, the market environment remains challenging. ‘Increasing EU regulation is creating a lot of work and weakening our international competitiveness. This is compounded by high labour costs in some countries. We are countering this with increased efficiency, new products and our leading role in recycling,’ says Lehner. The markets in the Asia-Pacific region offer huge potential. With the upcoming opening of a new plant in Thailand in 2025, ALPLA is setting the course for the future here.

Recycling: doubling capacity by 2030

ALPLA invests at least 50 million euros a year in recycling. The company’s commitment to a circular economy is paying off, it is on track to achieve its goal of using at least 25 per cent recycled material in its packaging by 2025 and will significantly increase its capacity. The ALPLArecycling division produces PET and HDPE recycled materials (rPET and rHDPE) at 13 plants in nine countries. The aim is to double the current installed and planned output capacity of 350,000 tonnes by 2030. The use of high-quality recycled material from own production is complemented by lightweighting and design for recycling. This saves materials, reduces the carbon footprint and ensures recyclability.
