ALPLA streng­thens injec­tion moul­ding busi­ness with new ALP­LAin­ject division

Stan­dar­di­s­a­tion and effi­ci­ency gains result in faster time to market

Hard, 16 May 2024 – The global ALPLA Group is set­ting the course for fur­ther growth in injec­tion moul­ding by estab­li­shing the ALP­LAin­ject divi­sion. By stra­te­gi­cally con­cen­t­ra­ting all injec­tion moul­ding exper­tise and capa­city under this brand, the pla­stic pack­a­ging spe­cia­list is incre­asing effi­ci­ency, spee­ding up the market launch of new pro­ducts and unlo­cking new market segments.

ALP­LAin­ject stands for high-quality injection-moulded parts such as clo­sures, caps, jars and multi-part pack­a­ging com­pon­ents such as pumps or deodo­rant sticks. With this new divi­sion, the inter­na­tional ALPLA Group is set­ting the course for fur­ther growth. The ALP­LAin­ject brand brings tog­e­ther all human and tech­nical resources in this area in one cen­tral orga­ni­sa­tional struc­ture. It com­prises a total of three core tech­no­lo­gies – injec­tion blow moul­ding and com­pres­sion moul­ding in addi­tion to injec­tion moul­ding – as well as global tool­ma­king, deve­lo­p­ment and sales.

Stan­dar­dised pro­cesses, cen­tra­lised pro­duct and tech­no­logy deve­lo­p­ment; and shorter distances will ensure greater fle­xi­bi­lity and effi­ci­ency in the future. ‘With ALP­LAin­ject, we are focu­sing on the spe­cific requi­re­ments of the dynamic injec­tion moul­ding market. We com­bine tech­no­lo­gical exper­tise and regional market know­ledge, pro­mote the global roll-out of inno­va­tive pro­cesses and enable our cus­to­mers to bring new pro­ducts to market faster,’ empha­sises the new ALP­LAin­ject Mana­ging Director Michael Feltes, who had already been Busi­ness Deve­lo­p­ment Director in the injec­tion moul­ding sec­tion of the Group since October 2022. The global head­quar­ters of ALP­LAin­ject are located at the ALPLA head­quar­ters in Hard. There are also global teams in all nine regions of the ALPLA Group.

Injec­tion moul­ding dri­ving growth
ALP­LAin­ject manu­fac­tures roughly 60 bil­lion injection-moulded parts per year at 43 plants around the world. The divi­sion has more than 600 state-of-the-art machines and sys­tems. As a pio­neer in pack­a­ging solu­tions and recy­cling, ALPLA also relies on tech­no­lo­gical inno­va­tion. ALP­LAin­ject scores highly with its decades of expe­ri­ence in light­weighting, alter­na­tive and recy­clable mate­rials; and energy-saving pro­duc­tion facilities.

The injec­tion moul­ding sector offers enormous poten­tial and is one of our stra­tegic growth dri­vers. The com­pe­ti­tive market envi­ron­ment requires maximum cost effec­ti­ve­ness and fle­xi­bi­lity. As its own injec­tion moul­ding divi­sion, ALP­LAin­ject will con­tinue to ensure our com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness in the future,’ says ALPLA CEO Philipp Lehner with con­vic­tion. The new divi­sion reports directly to the CEO.
