Alpla opens two new plants in Turkey with EUR 30m investment

Alpla has opened two new production plants in Izmir and Adana, Turkey, investing about EUR 30m in total. The sites will supply beverage, food, dairy and home and personal care customers, shortening delivery routes and adding capacity for PET preforms, closures and HDPE/PP bottles. Alpla now runs five plants in Turkey, a market it says accounts for roughly a third of its Africa, Middle East & Turkey region activity.
