ALPLA has fully integrated the site in Egypt into the Group with the acquisition of all shares from joint venture partner Taba. The global packaging and recycling specialist manufactures plastic bottles, preforms and closures for the markets of North Africa and the Middle East at its plant in 10th of Ramadan City near Cairo. Since 2024, the site has also been the central accounting service hub for the entire Africa, Middle East & Turkey (AMET) region.

ALPLA continues to invest in the growth region of North Africa. Eight years after ALPLA TABA was founded in Egypt, majority shareholder ALPLA is taking over all the shares of its joint venture partner.

Said Javier Delgado, Regional Managing Director AMET at ALPLA: “The close cooperation with Taba has laid the foundation for our success. During our time together, we have consolidated our market-leading position. Now we are taking the next step.”

ALPLA employs around 450 people at its state-of-the-art production plant in 10th of Ramadan City. They use injection blow moulding (IBM), injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM), extrusion blow moulding (EBM) and injection moulding (IM) technologies to produce high-quality plastic bottles, closures and preforms for the food, beverage, household and beauty care industries as well as the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to international brand manufacturers, ALPLA also supplies local companies. With its start in Egypt, the company expanded its portfolio to include standard packaging for pharmaceutical products and is now one of the country’s leading manufacturers.

Added Delgado: “The expertise and experience of our partner Taba helped us greatly in the successful development of this business.”

ALPLA and Taba will remain linked in the future: The joint venture DEPACK, based in the 10th of Ramadan City Industrial Park, manufactures food packaging using thermoforming technology.

The shares were acquired on December 16, 2024. The parties to the contract have agreed not to disclose the conditions.  For more visit alpla.com
