Despite the acquisition, ALPLA’s ties with Taba will continue through DEPACK, a JV in the 10th of Ramadan City Industrial Park that specialises in manufacturing food packaging with thermoforming technology.

ALPLA’s products, including plastic bottles, closures, and preforms, serve the food, beverage, household, beauty, and pharmaceutical industries. The company has expanded its portfolio to include standard packaging for pharmaceutical products in Egypt.

ALPLA Finance & Controlling AMET regional head Tarek Bassiouni said: “Everywhere in North Africa and the Middle East, the need for safe, affordable and sustainable packaging solutions is growing. As a system provider and technology market leader with 70 years of experience, we implement these from a single source.

“Our presence in Egypt plays a key role and has also been home to our central Accounting Service Hub since 2024.”
