Philipp Lehner CEO, ALPLA Global will join in the inaugural function.

ALPLA India has invested RS 60 crores in the tool room and RS 10 crores in dual education center. With this, ALPLA's investment in Pashamylaram, Telangana is RS 500 crore, making it one of the top 15 plants out of 180 plants worldwide.

ALPLA Mold shop in Pashamylaram would be ALPLA Global's third Mold shop, the other two being in Austria and Germany. The choice of Pashamylaram, Telangana reflects huge confidence in techno-commercial skills of Indian professionals to support high end technical solutions from ideation to design and execution on highly complex injection mold related projects including manufacture of precision closures, pumps and devices and other injection molding components.

ALPLA's Dual Education Center draws its inspiration from similar programs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The program has been innovatively tweaked (thanks to government of Telangana- Department of Technical Education) by ensuring that diploma students from various polytechnic colleges complete two years of theoretical education in their colleges and then join the dual education center of ALPLA. In this center, they are given practical hands-on education and training on latest CNC machines and state-of-art technologies in Mechatronics. Students in this program are fully paid during their training period and offered jobs at the end of the program.
