About ALHA

ALHA GmbH & Co. KG, based in Sonneberg (Thuringia), manufactures plastic packaging, in particular bottles and closures. Production is carried out by injection moulding and blow moulding. All required tools are built entirely in-house. The company's history dates back to the era when duroplastic products such as closures, switches and sockets, as well as glassware for pharmacies and the pharmaceutical industry, were produced in Hasenthal. Historically, the company supplied, among others, Dr. Oetker with printed aroma vials including closures. After reprivatisation in 1990, the company gradually switched production to plastic packaging; in 2011 the new production facility in Sonneberg was occupied. The product range serves the packaging industry and related application areas.
