  • May 2024: ALPLA, a global packaging specialist, and Refriango, a beverage producer, jointly launched their second in-house plant at Refriango's Viana site in Angola. This strategic initiative is designed to boost operational efficiency, increase production capacity, and lower the carbon footprint of both entities. The newly inaugurated facility, named ALPLA Sopro, is specifically focused on the production of secure, cost-effective, and eco-friendly plastic packaging.
  • July 2023: Packaging specialist ALPLA launched a new brand, ALPLArecycling. The plastic packaging company had 13 plants, including four joint ventures with regional partners. It aims to process at least 25% post-consumer (PCR) material by 2025.
