Armando Alvarez Group (USA)

The Grupo Armando Alvarez was founded in 1964 and is the largest Spanish transformer of plastic polyethylene film. 

The origins of the Group go back to the early 1960s with the manufacturing of various types of wooden packaging in small carpentry installations. Subsequently a company was created for the manufacture of metallic drums for chemical products. It was not until 1964 with the creation of the company Plásticos Españoles, S.A., better known as Aspla, that the first company in the Group devoted to the transformation of plastic materials was born.

As from 1977 the Group expanded beyond the region of Cantabria with the purchase of the two companies Reyde, S. A. and Reyenvas, S. A.

Its current position as a leader in the sector was achieved step by step with its strategy of purchasing companies to complement the main product lines of the Group.
