Alpla expansions: Ups US operations with Las Vegas facility; adds on facilities in Turkey

Packaging firm Alpla is expanding in the US and opening a plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Located within the Craig Road Logistics Center, the 13,000 sq m site will strengthen its ability to produce plastic bottles for global and domestic customers.

With a new site in North Las Vegas, Alpla says it is moving closer to key customers while providing strategic access to major transportation corridors and regional distribution networks. Beginning operations in spring 2027, the global packaging specialist will manufacture high-quality solutions using the extrusion blow moulding process. As the company's second manufacturing location in the western US, the facility enables it to improve its service capabilities and delivery efficiency, as well as to drive growth across the region.

The North Las Vegas site will serve customers across various industries, including food and beverage, health and beauty, and home care, and provide additional capacity for future partnerships.

Alpla now operates 19 sites in the US where North Las Vegas will create 36 new jobs locally. It adds that this expansion highlights its ongoing investment in infrastructure and capacity across the country.

In related news, Alpla is expanding its production capacity in Turkey. With the new sites in İzmir and Adana, the international packaging and recycling specialist has commissioned two plants. Investments totalling approximately EUR 30 million strengthen customer proximity, shorten supply routes and create additional capacity for packaging solutions.

The two new plants in İzmir and Adana complement the production network of the company that is reinforcing Turkey’s position as one of its most important markets within the Africa, Middle East & Türkiye (AMET) region.

Alpla has been active in Turkey since 1992 and now operates plants in Kocaeli, Ankara, Konya, Adana and İzmir. The country is one of the company’s most important production and competence centres within the AMET region, accounting for around one-third of its capacities and business activities.

It adds that it has established modern production facilities covering approximately 50,000 sq m in İzmir and 20,000 sq m in Adana. İzmir is designed as a versatile production platform for PET preforms, closures, HDPE and PET bottles. Adana focuses on PET preforms as well as HDPE and PP packaging solutions. The sites supply customers in the beverage, food and dairy sectors, as well as home care and personal care applications.

The plant in İzmir primarily serves customers in the Aegean region and in the west of the country. The Adana site supplies markets in the Mediterranean region and south-eastern Turkey.
