Alpla to Establish Manufacturing Operations in Bowling Green, Create 72 Jobs

Alpla Inc. plans to establish manufacturing operations in Bowling Green, creating 72 new, full-time jobs and investing $22.4 million in the Commonwealth.

Alpla produces customized plastic packaging solutions to meet the needs of customers. With a diverse range of customers, Alpla products include packaging for everyday items such as beverages, motor oils, cleaning supplies and more.

First established in Austria in 1955, Alpla has grown into a global company with approximately 13,000 employees at 148 sites in 39 countries.

?We are pleased to be expanding our manufacturing operations in Kentucky,? said Jodok Schaeffler, president of Alpla North America. ?We appreciate the support from the community and the dedicated employees from Cabinet for Economic Development in making this expansion possible.?



To encourage the investment and job creation in Bowling Green, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $1.92 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.

KEDFA also approved Alpla for tax benefits up to $81,000 through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act, which allows approved companies to recoup Kentucky sales and use tax on construction costs, building fixtures, equipment used in research and development and electronic processing equipment.

Warren County has also been certified by the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board as a Work Ready Certified Community. The certification is an assurance to business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly skilled workforce required in today?s competitive global economy.
