As China's export markets down and domestic buying power up, demand for packaging is rising rapidly. Western companies are going after the growing market, including the Austrian packaging firm Alpla Werke Alwin Lehner GmbH & Co KG.
According to Hefei Evening News, Alpla broke ground for its second factory in China on May 16. The new plant, located in Hefei, Anhui province, will supply packging to Unilever and L'Oreal. With an initial investment of US$20 million, the factory will start with annual capacity of 300 million plastic bottles. Alpla has a packaging plant in Tianjin as well.SEARCH
