ALPLA Sopro manufactures safe, affordable and sustainable plastic bottles. The production line is directly connected to Refriango's filling lines. The third plant of ALPLA in Angola and the fifth in-house plant in the region are a clear commitment to the growth markets in southern Africa.
ALPLA and Refriango are securing the growing demand for high-quality beverages and bottled drinking water in Angola and the surrounding countries. The international packaging specialist and Angola'’s beverage market leader have just opened the second inhouse plant for safe, affordable and sustainable plastic packaging at the Refriango site in Viana, in the metropolitan area of the capital Luanda. With the second plant on the site of the joint venture partner, ALPLA is adding the production of plastic bottles directly connected to the filling lines of the customer to the manufacture of PET preforms and closures. The number of employees quadruples to 167 and the total area increases from 5,500 square meters to 9,800 square meters.
“The dynamic markets in southern Africa and Angola in particular offer enormous opportunities. With the joint expansion, we are now taking the next step. We are contributing our technological edge as a system provider and strengthening Refriango's supply chain,” emphasizes Javier Delgado, Regional Managing Director AMET (Africa, Middle East & Turkey) at ALPLA. Refriango has been a licensed bottler of the Coca-Cola Company since 2022 and operates 24 bottling lines for more than 150 products. Angola's leading beverage producer is one of ALPLA's largest customers in the region.
